You can instantly recognize a pair of statement heels when you see them. At the Lulu Guinness Paint Project launch party in July 2013, many stunning shoes graced the gray brick arrival floor, but none captured our attention quite like the bold pumps Angela Scanlon paired with her punk-inspired outfit.

The Irish TV presenter, fashion writer, stylist, blogger, and “it” girl (who has also been dubbed the next Alexa Chung) graced the event in a two-piece ensemble of a black leather skirt and a black printed tank.

She then capped off the look with the most unexpected pair of shoes—patterned pointy pumps with frilly pompoms at the back.

What a sneaky way to get everyone’s attention, right? Still, we can’t help but admit that the mix strangely made sense — even with the equally catchy gold Lulu Guinness Lips clutch in her hand. Do you like her style? Do you think you can wear her shoes?
We researched and discovered that Angela’s pumps are by Joanne Stoker, an up-and-coming London-based designer who has made a distinct mark in the fashion scene with her standout, often daring, and unconventional pieces.
Before starting her eponymous footwear label in 2011, Stoker worked for Jimmy Choo. Matthew Williamson collaborated with Joanne Stoker when launching his first footwear collection in 2012. Angela’s blue heels are from Stoker’s A/W 2013 collection.

Based on the following Instagram and Twitter photos she posted recently, it looks like the fur balls are, in fact, removable.

If you want a closer look, below are some pictures of Angela’s Joanne Stoker pumps. They’re made of blue embroidered lace, and they come with black ankle straps decorated with fur balls. What’s great about the pair is that you can, as mentioned earlier, remove the pompoms if you don’t feel like wearing them

These pumps aren’t available online, but you can find a few exciting styles from the designer’s current collection. They are quite pricey and will set you back $500 to $800 a pair.
