Back when Galliano was working for Dior I had the pleasure to work backstage during fashion week in NYC. I was able to snag these amazing boots. I don't know if these boots were ever mass-produced. This is the only pair I've ever seen. When I look at them I see Haute Couture... big skirts, intricate folds, wild makeup, long legs, and....THESE SHOES! With 5" heels, you better know how to strut. Unfortunately, I don't. They have never been worn since the model took them down the runway. Your turn!

Killing me! The classic model size shoe 8-10... The stylist that cries when the "pulls" go back (that would be me) is a 34.5/35!
styledbykblake
@vivacouture I just had to share. Many phrases are coming to mind none of which I can say. I would wear them on a plane, in a train, and if it rained id risk some type of illness by hiding them and my bag under my clothes!!
onceuponathyme
@styledbykblake @vivacouture - I SO understand. I hope someone who truly GETS them will get them. They SO need to be taken for a serious stroll.
vivacouture
@styledbykblake 😂😂😂yes I know @onceuponathyme closet full of beautiful items and possibly my size feet !! What are you night owls doing poshing in the middle of the night !!! Lol
onceuponathyme
@vivacouture @styledbykblake What better time is there? Everyone else is asleep and we have the entire market to ourselves! ;-)
styledbykblake
@onceuponathyme @vivacouture catching people before coffee often makes the bundle price very attractive. It like staging a coup at a sample sale.
onceuponathyme
@styledbykblake hahahaha. Love it.
vivacouture
@styledbykblake ahh you have a strategy in place LOL ! Many of my purchases have been made half asleep in the middle of the night ! @onceuponathyme
onceuponathyme
@styledbykblake @vivacouture Grinning.... Yes, I have that same experience... in that lalaland between wake and sleep, so that when I get the email the next day I think, "What? I actually FOUND that in real life?" hahahha
styledbykblake
@onceuponathyme @vivacouture and then I get going onto whatever is "next" in life and I get all excited when it arrives because I forgot! Now if I could strategize the two of your to wear a 35 or 34 shoe! My mission would be on a whole new level!
styledbykblake
By the way @onceuponathyme and @vivacouture which one of us is going to place this piece of art on a pedestal in a glass case in our home?
onceuponathyme
@styledbykblake @vivacouture I have to be alert to the delivery man, so my husband doesn't pick up my packages.... oh, my! :-) But if I wore a 34 or 35 shoe I wouldn't be able to stand up! As for who is going to place it in a glass case - I've already had my turn at that. ;-) I wish I could wear it, but I've never been able to walk more than the three feet between the chair and the couch.... I quit doing heels and find it very difficult to go back! They are glorious, though ... whether you're wearing them, admiring them under glass, or passing them around to the general awe of the assembled company. :-)
styledbykblake
I say they call for auction at Sotheby's or Christies!
onceuponathyme
@styledbykblake hahahahaha.... I have some jewelry I've been thinking about sending, but never considered sending my shoes! ;-)
onceuponathyme
@narflyrem Fran, I'd love to get these little numbers out there . . Perhaps the most compelling item in my closet... :-*
franonymous
@onceuponathyme wow! Since I do not know the theme, I cannot be sure but these will ho on the list
franonymous
@onceuponathyme talk about hidden gems! Your whole closet is fabulousness!
onceuponathyme
@narflyrem Thank you, Fran. I'm new to PM, but boy do I have a lot coming up . . .:-)
bornred
OMG!!! I am so in LOVE with these!!! They are DIVINE!!! I swear I would risk eviction to purchase these!!!!! I'm keeping an eye on these lovlies👀👠🌺❤️🙆
onceuponathyme
@bornred They have so much muchness, don't they? These are not just a special shoe- they are an entire decade of memories.
onceuponathyme
@michelleannette Michelle, YOU can probably even WALK in these! hahahaha I, unfortunately, cannot. Nor have I ever been able to. Imagine having kept these pulls and never having been able to wear them.
bornred
Yes they do!!! And as the Hatter would say "were all mad here"....especially about these Gallianos!!!!! I can only imagine the hat he would make for them!!!! Hmmmmm
onceuponathyme
@bornred Drayn, there is a challenge I'd love to take on! What a great idea!!! Kay, ya'll -- post matching hats!!! @scarlettstained @hollynoel25 ... calling all hat ladies (which is ALMOST like Bag Ladies, but not quite!)
hollynoel25
@onceuponathyme hmmm.... I will take inventory of my hats tomorrow and see what goes... How fun to see everyone's hats!! Yes, @michelleAnnette we are ALL mad here hahahaha
michelleannette
@onceuponathyme Ok these are my size, and I can wear high heels, but I am afraid. Once I start buying your shoes, I will never stop. Loooove these. Talk about a statement. I had about 300 pairs of shoes before my husband said enough. I gave away Pedro Garcia, Pradda, you name it. This was before Posh. I figure if you or Kristen want to buy or I could send them and you could just use them for a shoot. Of course with the racks and racks of clothes you have, you probably don't have space to store them. Kristen's talking trades for blood and organs, haha, no need to get so extreme. Have a great day!!!!
onceuponathyme
@michelleannette hahahahahaha I'm dying here... My husband has kind of had it with my 500 boots, too. :-) But at LEAST when we do our shoot you have to strut these! I literally cannot walk in them. I can put them on and SIT in them. Until I get a foot cramp! hahahahaha
michelleannette
@onceuponathyme What is it with boots? I really simply cannot walk away from boots. If they are tall enough for my long legs than they are mine. If someone asked me what one thing I would bring to an island? Boots. I know I need help. And surely you can't hide any for me. I'm cracking myself up here!!!
onceuponathyme
@michelleannette .... I get you, babe! I have gigantic ballet dancer calves - when they started making boots big enough for "regular people" to tuck their jeans into them I went CRAZY. In two years I bought over 200 pairs of boots. Then I found Uggs. Those boots have never been worn - but I kept buying them! And I LOVE to look at them, and pet them. hahahahaha .... in true DRAGON style. It's pathetic. and wonderful. @susanleeyogi has it right - she has a post... "Yes, I have a shoe addiction. No, I don't want help." :-D
michelleannette
@onceuponathyme Who hoo I think I just made my first sale. Lucky me. Now I have to get going through all my leather jackets, Dnky stuff, Free People. Oh man I think I am going to the hot tub!!!!
susansupernova
@michelleannette @onceuponathyme yes that would be me!!! I am a boot and shoe addict and dont tell me I need help unless you want your teeth re-arraged LOL
scarlettstained
@onceuponathyme these are simply Wicked Darva!!!! I'll see if I have a hat that goes with these! I think if I wore these I would adopt a little attitude!👠👠👠🔥🔥🔥🔥
onceuponathyme
@michelleannette WOOO HOOOO!!!! @susanleeyogi @mangrami @amandamarino @scarlettstained @queenmumm @jkdressler @iknowclothes @melissamarino @hollynoel25 Party in Michelle's closet! First sale! Jerilyn was my first sale, and Amanda was my 2nd... there's nothing like it! and history is made . . . :-)
onceuponathyme
@scarlettstained You definitely cannot strut in these shoes without attitude... hahahahaha. Pretty sure you have it . . . :-)
onceuponathyme
@susanleeyogi - I definitely need help with my boot and shoe addiction . . . I need someone to help me put up more shelves! hahahahaha
jkdressler
Your closet is crazy awesome! Thanks for the intro Darva!!! @onceuponathyme
jkdressler
Oops! @michelleannette 👆👆
onceuponathyme
hahahaha... as you see from my closet, I have a soft spot for Jonny, too. :-) These were actually a pull from a runway show that I got to keep. I've never worn them, because I CAN'T walk in them! @styledbykblake Kristen shares our passion, and has talked about putting these under glass, since she can't fit in them. But you DO have to wear them at least once! They've never been even for a stroll - aside from down the runway one fine day several years ago. :-)
styledbykblake
@onceuponathyme that day should be a national holiday!!!
styledbykblake
Ooh did you shoot with @michelleannette today?
onceuponathyme
@styledbykblake @lululady Not ONLY did we have a shoot with @michelleannette all afternoon and into the evening, but - she has proven it - SHE CAN WALK IN THESE SHOES! Well, it's not exactly walking. More like strutting...? :-) They have finally - for the first time - been taken out for a (very short) drive around the yard, and you'll be seeing photos of that live and in color very soon! Stay tuned! :-)
styledbykblake
@onceuponathyme @michelleannette my lovely friends... I'd like to remind you of a little song we all know, "Killing me softly..." Clearly time to come home to California!!
styledbykblake
@lululady so nice to meet you as well.... I say we all dress up in his creations and show up at his door and convince him to come back!!
styledbykblake
Ok @onceuponathyme I'm going into the closet I need to clean out and let the listing begin! All proceeds to UMASS.. Plus side she wants to be a neurosurgeon I've already signed up for her first research study.. She's convinced I have a touch of dementia and Alzheimer's. Unless you show me something regarding fashion. Then spot on... Lol I told her we are all that way, she said it must be exhausting for me and my fashionista friends. Birds of a feather! I notice nothing off with any of us.. 😘
onceuponathyme
@lululady Indeed, Taylor, it was me... We got photos of it at the shoot yesterday, although it was too short for our gorgeous 6' tall model. :-) It's the most divine piece I own ... rich dark green silk velvet skirt with a bustle and green lace over a body suit - so it looks nude, but isn't - for the bodice. It's the most sexy demure dress . . . the bodice has a high neck and long sleeves, but the one time I wore it - to the opening Opera season - it just stopped the show. People who worked with me every day didn't recognize me. It has a built in body suit that pulls the bodice tight - in such a way that seems impossible. And frankly, before you fasten the crotch piece it looks terrible . . . the - four hooks later - BRILLIANT. It's a size 4-6. How I wish I could still wear it!
onceuponathyme
@lululady hahahaha - Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I do the same thing. :-) Fall asleep with my computer on my lap and wake up with my legs burnt from the fan. ;-) I will let you know when I'm posting, for sure. That stunning Galliano I sold to @styledbykblake? This the only dress I own that - IMHO - beats The Galliano. I have a couple that are tied, but nothing else that just beats it. :-)
styledbykblake
@lululady @onceuponathyme for a fashion bedtime story you should read the thread on the Galliano where this exquisite Bob Mackie is discussed! I'm still waiting for the photos of it to emerge, but in my head it is heaven!!
styledbykblake
@michelleannette as the tiny foot member of this family! I'm your 34 or 35 size gal... I must know what it was like to walk in yet another piece of art!! My ex fiancé donated my storage units to Salvation Army about 9 years ago! It was a dark day! I am still rebuilding and once some things are gone, all you can do is wait for genius (lightning) to strike again! I am not above donations ladies! But I am hoping to relieve you of goodies for paying clients as well.
onceuponathyme
@styledbykblake you crack me up. But yes, I DO believe the shoe trick would work - now to figure out something else a bit less valuable you could stick in your car! :)
onceuponathyme
Yes! Photos of the two together... with @michelleannette in my silk parachute dress... and someone else in the black AS formal in my closet. Those dresses belong together! Taylor, we ALL have a bit of a fashion obsession. hahahahaha
@lululady
styledbykblake
@onceuponathyme perhaps a photo, or Lookbook!
styledbykblake
@lululady thank you!! @onceuponathyme and I share many similarities one of which is insomnia... You find lots of entertainment in our threads!!
michelleannette
@onceuponathyme hey Darva, I still dream about these. They fit a 9 perfectly, with the height you need the room to strut, and did I ever get to strut these. It makes you want Mr John Galliano to serve you tea and tell you stories about his wacky life. There are very few items of clothing that give you verve. These are a very good example. Thanks for the opportunity to play. See you soon. MichelleAnnette
onceuponathyme
@styledbykblake @lululady @michelleannette @iknowclothes @susanleeyogi Perhaps we need to start a fashion blog . . . something to do while we're up when the rest of the fashion world is asleep. . . :-) Michelle, I am counting the minutes. :-)
michelleannette
@onceuponathyme Ho there Darva, I missed you when you working the shoot from hell. You could always call me I'll come help I am only an hour away. Yes, we need to do a blog, it can even be a good start to the business idea you have. Kristen @styledbykblake has already written Tyra Banks blog. Hey I can come up again this week if you want to do another shoot, or the weekend, and I'll bring the tech expert (my husband!). You picked some wacky shots of me, I hope you have more than a couple good shots. Your clothes of course look fab!! MichelleAnnette
onceuponathyme
@michelleannette I'm about to hit the editing desk . . . Both Gib and Neal were shooting RAW, so the files were far to big for my laptop to handle. I used a couple of Campbell's artsy shots, but far more to come . . . :-) I would love to get together again for another shoot this coming weekend. I'll find out our shooter's plans, and DO bring the IT genius. The two geniuses should meet, methinks. And let's do some of your things, too . . . this time around!!! I have more great shots than I know what to do with - except they should - of course - go on our Blog. The adventures of the Fashion Dragons! :-) @styledbykblake - I know you're up for it. I'm happy to send photos to get us started . . . Michelle - let me know what days work for you and the Genius. :-)

@michelleannette Doll-baby, close your eyes... no WONDER you have a migraine! :-)
vishab40
Beautiful 😍😍😍😍
onceuponathyme
@vishab40 Thanks! I've been toting these amazing shoes around for several years (since I can't walk in them!)... I think I've finally found them a good home!
siosaurus
Absolutely stunning! Would you please tag me if these come up for sale?
onceuponathyme
@slosaurus I certainly will . . . they've been on hold a long time. I'll check with the gal who is holding them. :-)
softball_mom13
Must have these!! I'm in love
onceuponathyme
@bunbunny1010 I'm sorry - I don't do sales outside of PM and Etsy.
