Chloe Strap Wrap Open Toe Boots

I am usually a big fan of Chloe, but since the departure of Phoebe Philo in 2006 the brand has lost a little bit of its fabulous elegance. Although their last shoe collection was still beautiful, something was missing.

And then I came across these absolutely ugly boots!! Most of the time simple is best, but obviously it was not what Paolo Melim Andersson (Chloe's recently ousted creative designer) had in mind when he designed these way-too-busy boots, or maybe we should blame Hannah MacGibbon (Chloe's new creative designer) for these?

Anyway, these boots make no sense! I especially dislike the wrap-around straps and the shiny bow. These boots are also supposed to be slouchy and the top can fold over to show the suede lining.
