They were also producing Christian Dior shoes at that time.<br />You can imagine i was like a child in a sweet shop, design had no limitations and i was inspired by the archive museum on the top floor of the building, a real delight !<br />One of my designs went into production of which i was incredibly proud at the time, i still have a pair of those sandals at home, turquoise calf leather, black sole, heel and insole, delicious colours !<br />Donatella Serra<br />Donatella Serrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045512450053243830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1864963888220309614.post-61044287421913065602023-03-26T05:58:12.410-07:002023-03-26T05:58:12.410-07:00What a fantastic collection!

It is nice to see other people sharing the lack of space created by a shoe collection, and the endless dusting... Anyways glad I came through your blog and will come to visit again...I am a fashion designer and design a few shoes every season in order to match the clothes, but it is not enough!!! I will start my own shoe brand soon...will let you know, cheers LaurentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1864963888220309614.post-53496069492397530132011-04-30T16:52:01.331-07:002011-04-30T16:52:01.331-07:00Thanks Vincent :)

If you look through the photos, I have two photos of this favorite sandal. One in Fuschia, the other in Black.<br />The heel is beautifully scribed giving it an art deco feel.

I see you have catalogs that might have information. I wonder if you know this style of boot from Charles Jourdan, short ankle boot with a thick rubber sole which has ridges on toe and heel. Looks like a moon boot, suede and metallic fabric trim. CJ circle logo on the ankle. I'd post a photo but I can't here. I also have a shoe in the same style, suede, metallic fabric and rubber sole, but what year?<br />Thankstfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00037460649322303777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1864963888220309614.post-37216309986009654602011-01-26T15:42:58.951-08:002011-01-26T15:42:58.951-08:00My wife was a model in Milan in 1979 and went to P...My wife was a model in Milan in 1979 and went to Paris and got a pair of CJ they were gold platforms with a beautiful purplish blue top and matching flower and ankle strap - they were so sexy I still remember them to this day.tshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03004596258075079628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1864963888220309614.post-49009384681144906922010-10-01T21:37:23.176-07:002010-10-01T21:37:23.176-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681777386188984904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1864963888220309614.post-13526548128620745502010-10-01T21:35:59.561-07:002010-10-01T21:35:59.561-07:00Can you please tell me the name of the Red Diamant...Can you please tell me the name of the Red Diamante Sandals?
