Beatrix Ong Jolee Slides - Dita Von Teese

Shoebunny’s dear reader Eileen spotted Dita Von Teese in red satin Beatrix Ong slides.

This style is called “Jolee” and is from the Autumn/Winter 2005 collection. The “Jolee” slide features a large velvet bow on top of foot, leather lining, satin and velvet uppers and a 70mm heel. The slides are available in black satin/velvet, red satin/velvet, and blue satin/velvet.

After designing for Jimmy Choo, Beatrix Ong went on to start her own shoe business. Her passion is to create shoes that are comfortable enough for women to wear during the day, yet glamorous and special enough for the evening: “I design very selfishly. I make shoes that I want to wear, and practicality and comfort are as important as looks. My shoes are designed to be worn all day and into the night; whatever the occasion. My shoes are eclectic but sculptural. I imagine them being worn b a modern-day Cinderella.”

In September 2002 her first shoe collection launched at the London Fashion Week. And one year later the Independent Newspaper named Ong as one of the 10 Leading Shoe Designers amongst Manolo Blahnik. Beatrix Ong has also been called “the new Choo”. Shoebunny is sure that we all will hear more from Beatrix in the future.
