Who would have thought that one of Australia's considerable 'pest'.... could and will be adorned on the foot form's of many fashionista's?! ( maybe the solution to rid of cane toads, has finally been found??? similar to that of a health cure??!)Karine Emanouel, hailing from Australia herself ( of course ), has created the solution/ answer to nature merging with fashion!
A shoe merchant, Karine has designed a shoe/s with the use of 'CANE TOAD' skin. Yes, you have heard me correct!, 'CANE TOAD'. Not so appealing to the ears as it may sound... the very new concept was just recently launched.. on http://www.karineemanouel.com.au/.
Fairly a 'squeamish' topic for me to comment on... but the fact that it has to do with 'fashion'.. makes it too unique to put aside. Besides, my fashion counterparts internationally, would find this rather..............well,.......odd, yet amusing to read. TOAD's on feet!.Sitting on my throne, peering outside to nature...... I spot a little 'green tree frog'... and then my imagination begins to take hold..." I wonder whether we'll soon be sporting 'GREEN TREE FROG', cuffs? or better yet.. more 'FROGGY' foot form offerings!..........hmmmm just an imaginative thought really.
My critic tongue says..... the concept is too interesting to ignore.. and could not possibly be overlooked on reporting. However upon close inspection of the foot form offerings by the Karine Emanouel group, I would say.... not that 'styliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish', instead quite conservative, and not really following with any of the 'what is hot right now' designs. xoxo. Kind of like 'retirement' age footwear?, but with more fashion class??? ( if this makes any sense)... just don't expect.. Gary Castle style designs.. or Choo heels.
Karine Emanouel, however has managed to churn up a PR, delight... with this new 'Toad' concept... so smart little cookie is she.
Good luck with the Toad shoe Karine...................hmmmmm.... Ribbit
