Description

A young woman with a penchant for candy, sequined gowns and expensive shoes has a favourite pair of Louboutins that are impossible to walk in—which is the point, since they'll never touch the ground. She's a living doll whose passions serve fantasy, not reality, a rebel who embodies aspiration and the ultra-feminine as expressions of agency and identity. Angie Driscoll
