Boots are the edgy highlight of Cesare Paciotti’s Fall 2013 / 2014 collection. Our three favourites are all very different, but each has the same refreshing slice of attitude (in a designer chic way of course).
The most versatile of all the collection’s boots is the black leather Luxy bootie, a zip up ankle boot that is covered with 5 leather strips with square-shaped studs. Luxy is marketed as being “for the rocker woman who doesn’t give up elegance,” and this is definitely a boot that could be dressed up or down easily as circumstances demand. Luxy has a 12cm (4.8 inch) heel with a 1.5 cm (0.6 inch) hidden heel.
(Update 2023: this is an archive post. The boots mentioned are all sold out and links have been removed. The article has been amended to show the prices in 2014 when these shoes were available – Luxy retailed for $1,125 in 2014).

Second up is Alex, a knee-high python boot which invites the wearer to “embrace the metropolitan jungle.” Decoded that means this is the shit-kicking boot to wear to blast the ignorant and inconsiderate out of the way in crowded city streets. Alex has a 12cm heel (4.8 inches), cost $2,830 and is hopefully clearing pavements of people who don’t look where they’re going in a city near you.
Finally, a seductress named Luxy awaits. This is not a boot you would wish to argue with, with its black suede outer and bustier like lacing. A 15cm (5 inch) heel plus tiny 15mm (0.6 inch) platform complete Luxy which retailed for $1,580.
Cesare Paciotti certainly produces some amazing footwear: we’ve more articles about the label for your viewing pleasure.
