Last winter, we stood in line behind Kat Von D at the H&M store in the Beverly Center. There was no debate: she has her own unique style from head to toe, including her shoes.
Born in Mexico, Kat Von D's parents were missionaries and moved to the Inland Empire (an hour east of Los Angeles) when she was four. Her Spanish, German and Italian background along with her love of playing classical piano influenced her later career as a tattoo artist, business owner and television personality (Kat starred in LA Ink on TLC for four seasons).
Kat's style is a mixture of heavy metal, punk, tattoo, rockabilly, skater and pinup girl. Her clothes range from black leather, tube tops, big buckle belts, leopard and animal prints, corsets, anything dark and black but chic.
Kat's Shoe Kloset
This week Kat opened up her closet to talk about her passion for shoes. Her collection includes unusual eBay finds, unique creations, original 1970's platforms and her favorite Anastasia Radevich studded boots. We like how Kat turned an extra room or closet into a display room where she can see and choose from her collection-- not something everyone can afford to do but inspiring for shoe aficionados.
What are some of your favorite shoes? Do you have any unusual ways of organizing them on shelves, baskets, or boxes? Please share in the comment section below or by letting us know on Twitter @johntrosko.
