Casadei Metallica Sandals – Taryn Manning

Shoebunny spotted Taryn Manning in Casadei sandals.

Taryn’s sandals are Look #5 “Metallica” from the current Casadei collection. Like the Dolce & Gabbana wedge sandals from the previous posting these high heel sandals also reflect the strong ’80s vibe of spring/summer 2007. As Casadei describes the “Metallica” shoes:

“The message this latest collection communicates is mainly a return to the future, lived in the prism of a dazzling universe populated by galactic sirens who sing the opulence of metals. Gold and silver, but above all, the great news of the season, copper, supplanting the mordoré so much in vogue in the Eighties, in dizzy recalls and echoes from the past, between Bianca Jagger, Jane Fonda and Farah Fawcett, stopping off at the silver flashes of Andy Warhol’s Factory and the verve of Edie Sedgwick. The key concept is a syncretism of wood and metal, in a synthesis between the corporeal heat of the former and the chilly clarity of the latter, applied to the shape of the heel, leading it into a new, exquisitely geometric dimension.”




Today’s posting has a special history. Some time ago our dear reader Brian sent Shoebunny the following email:
“My girlfriend desperately wants these high heel from the May 07 Stuff magazine.
here is the link…can you tell me where to buy them so I can surprise her…this would mean a lot to the both of us.”

No question – such a special mission required Shoebunny’s full attention. Shoebunny started an extensive research, probably the longest since Shoebunny identified – as a world exclusive – Sienna Miller’s blue Miu Miu ballerina flats. Unfortunately the research took longer than expected. Similar shoes popped up (like the XTC “jody” heels), but the original shoes wanted to remain hidden. Until a few minutes ago, when Shoebunny suddenly stumbled upon them at the Casadei website.

Finally, after a long and exhaustive search Shoebunny is very happy to support Brian. The shoes are identified, now it’s time to get them. Zappos Couture has a fairly large Casadei offering (with discount of up to 52% off). However, Taryn’s sandals are not available here (only a similar slide version, see style “5120″).
So it seems the best idea is to directly contact Casadei. While Casadei has most of its stores in Europe there is a show room in NY:

New York Crown Building
730 Fifth Avenue – Suite 1806
N.Y. 10019
ph. 212 765 6846
fax 212 765 6930
