Charles Jourdan and Guy Bourdin put the ASS in Class

Charles Jourdan has the Internet going nuts with the announcement of it's comeback at Paris fashion week this year. For those that don't know Jourdan started making shoes in the 1920's but really came up in the 60's and 70's, he was also the first shoe designer to put shoe advertisements in high end fashion magazines. With the help of Guy Bourdin behind the lens Jourdan's shoes became the object of affection of any girl in the know and any guy with a hard on for the avant-garde bitch on the go.



The brand went bankrupt in 2002 under the helm of charles sons but should be out again in stores by 2010. I hope they keep pushing for the innovative heel designs Jourdan became famous for.


No news has surfaced as to whether they plan on bringing back the hand bag collection Jourdan went hard with in the mid 70's
I came across one at value village a couple of years ago and it's been a prized possesion ever since.


Ooof and if anyone knows where i can get a hold of these get at me. I need these canvas joints in my life.
