Viktor & Rolf Fur Heel

Filed under: Shoes

The approaching fall and winter seasons conjures up thoughts of how to simultaneously stay warm and look great. For many of us, myself included, our priority may fall along the lines of looking great and figuring out the rest later. Viktor & Rolf's Fur Booties ($925) definitely fall in the category of looking stylish but not keeping you warm.

When I initially saw these booties, I was instantly drawn to the warm chestnut brown color. It's a great shade that stands out due to the red undertones but in the same regard blends in well enough with your outfit without creating an over powering look. However, it looks like design duo Viktor & Rolf wanted them to stand out because it's hard not to miss all that fur along the vamp. I can't decide if this feature adds or takes away from the overall look, but it certainly caught my attention. Heel measurement: 4.5"

Big news for fashion design firm Viktor & Rolf. Renzo Rosso, the Italian industrialist behind Diesel, has acquired a majority stake in brand helmed by the dynamic Dutch duo of Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren. Rosso has said that he plans to make major investments in the company's ready-to-wear business and will add freestanding Viktor & Rolf stores as well as adding licensed products like glasses and jewelry.

Rosso's Italian holding company, Only the Brave also controls Dsquared, Maison Martin Margiela and Sophia Kokosalaki, and manufactures Vivienne Westwood's leading lines which sounds like good company for the often unconventional Viktor & Rolf designs.
