Label Text:Sharp angles, thorn-like projections, and chain details imbue Cesare Paciotti’s ankle boots with fierce, aggressive sexuality. Paciotti created this style for Ohne Titel’s darkly romantic fall 2009 runway show, and he has also created footwear to complement fashion from labels such as Dolce & Gabbana and Versace.
