I am usually all about the real thing. I have never been a fan of knockoffs, however these are troubled times and $900 for shoes, even exquisite shoes, is ludicrous. At Barney’s I was smitten with a pair of Lanvin pumps, as I am with most things Lanvin. Sadly I had to leave the store and the love of my life on the shelf. A few days later I was at Steve Madden with a friend when we both saw the perfect copy of the Lanvin pumps possible. Best part, people keep complimenting me on them! I have a new respect for the delicate design of copying perfection.
