With a rare know-how of silhouette and skins, Alexandre Birman consistently delivers. We already know and love him for his strappy platforms and python pumps, but here’s proof he can turn out the perfect knee-high boot.
At a press junket for “The Voice” on October 28th, Christina Aguilera showed how to wear them, keeping the look saucy yet polished and covered-up. These sexy, simulated lace-up boots are the perfect complement to her flirty Dolce & Gabbana skirt and woven, wrap-around Barbara Bui belt.
Out of Birman’s Fall 2011 collection, these streamlined, side-zip boots have a 5” heel to remind you that black suede can be far from dowdy, along with textured leather down the front for the effect of edgy laces. Stylish, on-trend, and affordable (well, sort of, at least compared to four-digit boots from other brands) – Birman’s got my vote for the staple of the cold season. On Net-a-Porter for $825.
Pair with: A lush bag in a plush print. Proenza Schouler doesn’t quit turning it out. Their book bag will hang off your shoulder with ease, and multicolor textile knit, along with a fur gusset, makes for a cozy winter. On Ssense for $1,525.

What’s happened to her?
The boots might be wonderful, using Christina as an example for anything related to fashion not such a good idea.
LOL, Yes I know… but in all fairness she is the one who brought attention to the shoes. haha xoxo Tina
