If the curly bow and ring fascinator isn’t your thing, then perhaps you’ll appreciate the next expensive auction item more. Giuseppe Zanotti and Chopard teamed up to create a pair of 360-carat pink shoes. Encrusted with 600 briolette-cut stones, the pink satin sandals feature what are probably the most expensive ankle straps in the world: rubellites, pink sapphires, diamonds and rubies set in pink gold to be exact.

Also snapped up by an anonymous bidder, the shoes were modeled by Anja Rubik and fetched £125,000 (approximately $201,000 at current exchange rates) , contributing a respectable amount to the $10 million total amount raised at the Cannes amfAR gala to benefit AIDS research. {Telegraph}

Now in our fashion fantasies, both items went to the same sartorially daring, deep pocketed and charitable anonymous shopper (Daphne Guiness? Gaga?), but there aren’t any details on the identity of the person who will be wearing diamonds on the ankle straps of their shoes either.

You can find looks from Jayne Pierson and Tokyo-based designer Yuima Nakazato, who has dressed Fergie for the Black Eyed Peas tour as well as items worn on and off stage by Estelle, Elly of La Roux and Rhianna. In addition, Londonâ€s Piers Atkinson and futuristic womenswear designer Gemma Slack, both of whom have dressed Lady Gaga, are featured on the site. {Grazia UK}

NJAL also now directs celebrity fashion fans to more wearable designs worn by stars like Mila Jovovich, Katie Holmes, Alice Dellal, Elle Macpherson and Lily Cole. {Grazia UK}

Shopping on NJAL is much easier than trying to make a DIY, Gaga-like Philip Treacy lobster hat or Jean-Charles de Castelbajac Kermit The Frog coat, but be prepared to drop a few doubloons for any of these fashions. Most designs start at approximately $500, and many of the designers are marked “high end.” For a piece of your favorite celebrity, superfans may find it a small price to pay for their own piece of famous style.

“The planned sale at Christie’s could only result in carnage, as souvenir seekers plundered the incredible body of work Issie had created over her life,” the statement said. “Indeed, in many ways, the auction would not be merely a sale of clothes; it would be a sale of what was left of Issie, and the carrion crows would gather and take away her essence forever.”

Guinness†interpretation of Blowâ€s wardrobe as a symbol of the life of the woman she affectionately called “Issie” seems fair given the famous editorâ€s devotion to fashion and impressive collection. Guinness said she consulted Blow’s family, including hat designer Philip Treacy – for whom Blow served as a muse, Lady Amanda Harlech and David LaChapelle before committing to purchase the entire collection, and she said they supported her decision. She also said she plans to preserve the collection the way she believes Blow would have wanted it to be kept. {LookBooks}

“I would like this unique collection, marked by her grace and the fact it was so intimately hers, to allow people (whether students, lovers of fashion, historians) to remember her and benefit from her legacy, when we who knew and loved Issie are no longer here,” Guinness said. “In this way all of Issie’s friends, known or unknown, near or far, both those she chose and those who identify with her, will have access to something that no one should be afraid to call by its proper name: Isabella Blow’s Work of Art.”

Based on this statement, we hope to eventually see Blowâ€s collection displayed for the public in a museum – perhaps at the V&A Museum in London where Grace Kellyâ€s wardrobe was recently shown. Christieâ€s did not do anything wrong by intending to auction Blowâ€s clothing, but we are pleased to know there may be the opportunity to view the collection in its entirety at some point, thus offering a glimpse into Blowâ€s life as well as the beauty of the pieces she accumulated.

The many hats of Isabella Blow

It was announced last week that nearly 100 McQueen outfits and 50 Treacy hats along with Manolo Blahnik shoes from Blowâ€s impressive wardrobe will be sold by the auction house Christieâ€s on behalf of Blowâ€s family Sept. 15 in London, South Kensington. {NYTimes}

“What we have is unique — it shows that McQueen really deserves his place in fashion history and that Isabella was there before anyone else. She saw what was good so far ahead of the game,” said Patricia Frost, director of fashion and textiles for Christieâ€s.

Even more noteworthy is fashion editor Andre Leon Talleyâ€s report that Treacy confirmed at Naomi Campbellâ€s 40^th birthday party that he has a producer committed to creating a film on the life of Blow, with John Galliano on board to play the part of … John Galliano. {Fashionologie}

ALT wrote a great deal on Vogue.com about Campbellâ€s celebration this past weekend in Cannes, including this tidbit: “I caught Treacy, in an Alexander McQueen smoking with a black shawl collar spliced with gold lamé, to thank him for all those gorgeous Grace Jones hats. We had not hugged since Isabella Blowâ€s funeral three years ago, and he shared fabulous news: He has a producer to do a film on Isabella, and Galliano has already confirmed to play himself. Who will play Isabella? Treacy has a great trick up his hat, and itâ€s going to rock the world, but he cannot reveal it until this major new talent confirms.” {The Cut}

If Galliano backs out for some reason, we think Johnny Depp would be a perfect fit for the part, especially after hearing about the “huge Mad Hatter top hat” ALT said Galliano sported at Campbellâ€s party, and we hope you are as excited as we are to hear who Treacy will pull out of his hat for the starring role.
