Rip The Runway: Giuseppe Zanotti vs Aldo

giuseppe-vs-aldo

Famous for offering an alternative to a designer shoe, Aldo stays true to form with its Giuseppe Zanotti interpretation.  Lacking the height of the boot and the silver stiletto, Aldo’s shoe still shares obvious similarities at a fraction of the cost.  Many would favor the Giuseppe Zanotti’s based on looks alone, but are you willing to pay for the look, or would you go with Aldo’s Parrin?

The interview shy Rose didn’t reveal if this was her new brand of leopard print spandex or if she’s simply repping for Planting Seeds. Following the revelation that she’s a new Ford Model, we can only assume that she’s simply modeing, and hasn’t established a Lindsay Lohan like spandex empire.

The ed’s over at Honey Mag seem to think the leather look works for warmer temps:
