Fastening up the trend in the fashion arena, Zippers aren’t just a functional part of clothing anymore. Louis Vuitton has made use of the humble zipper to add decorative flair to its Fall 2014 shoe collection. To mark the launch of this outstanding footwear lineup, the fashion house has commissioned John Wright to capture a series of graphic pictures highlighting the feature of the season: the zip. The Scottish photographer and film director has expertly shown images of various styles of the zipper detailed shoes against iconic locations like Place de la Concorde, du Trocadero, du Louvre, etc. in Paris.

Trimmed with zips, the entire range includes shoes for day as well as night wear. Louis Vuitton has styled sandals, brogues, loafers, low boots and ankle boots from calf or waxed calf leather along with python and suede goat leather. Take a look at our picks from the collection –
The Tomboy Pump is decked with golden zipper ornament all around the upper side and features perforated LV initials. Fitted with a platform heel for enhanced comfort, it is inspired by traditional men’s shoes. Ditch the zip-detailed outfit and step in to this on-trend platform pump for $1,210.
The Perfecto Sandal is also ornamented with gold zipper and flaunts the golden LV initials on the sole. The decorative zip emphasizes the sleek lines of this elegant design. Standing on 4.2 inch heel, this modish peep-toe sandal stands out for the combination of velvety suede and smooth leather. Step in them for $1,040.
Another style from the Perfecto family is the Low Boot with a not-so-low price tag of $1,080. Featuring the same combination, zipper trim and the LV initial on the sole, it is very similar to the Perfecto Sandal. A must have for those on board with the bootie trend, team it up with slim pants or a short outfit for $1,080.
