There are shoes, and there are It shoes.   But even as It shoes go, these Louis Vuitton’s are in a crazy, feathery super-league of their own. These babies have gone global so without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, meet Spicy.

At the recent Paris fashion shows, where the fashion paparazzi greet interesting accessories with the same enthusiasm as they greet a plate of pastries so Spicy caused a bit of a fracas.

Spicy, is a decadent bejewelled confection set with purple, green and orange stones, caused so much fuss, poor Alexa Chung was almost knocked over in the quest for a shot of hers.

Other celebrities recently spotted wearing them include Chloe Sevigny, Heidi Klum, Victoria Beckham and, of course, Madonna, star of Vuitton’s current advertising campaign.

So why the furore?   The general concesus is that is a fun, jolly and proper work of art type of shoe.
