He studied law at the University of Lugano in Switzerland, but he eventually left his studies to pursue a career in fashion.

In 1998, he launched his own fashion label, Philipp Plein. Plein’s designs quickly gained a following among celebrities and fashionistas for their unique and eye-catching style. Celebrity fans include Paris Hilton, Ellie Goulding, Vivica A. Fox, and Eva Longoria.

Some critics have praised Plein’s designs for their originality and boldness. Others have criticized his work as being too flashy and gaudy. However, there is no doubt that Plein is one of the most successful fashion designers working today.

In 2013, Plein welcomed a son, Romeo Prince Plein. Romeo’s mother is social media influencer Fernanda Rigon, who, according to an Instagram post, did not allow Plein to see his son.

Post-breakup, Rigon moved to Brazil, resulting in Plein’s minimal involvement in his son’s early life. However, they’re believed to be on better terms now.

Philipp Plein Python Skin Leather Heels: A Bold Take on the Mary Jane Shoe

I always look for interesting pairs of shoes, and Farfetch is one of my go-to places during these scavenging moments.

So many fabulous pairs of designer shoes will make any girl’s jaw drop. And that’s exactly what happened when I saw this beautiful foot candy from Philipp Patrick Plein!

This shoe has two of the factors that fabulous women want in a shoe: it is both exotic and expensive! It boasts white python skin leather, which explains the price tag.

It is also laden with crystals that outline the remarkable, jagged-cut edges (which somehow reminds me of Swan Lake). Aside from that, there are a couple more additional details on the back of the heel. Take a look!

Notice the ID chain tag on the heel and the charm on the back ankle zipper?

At the same time, they contrast the luxeness and sophistication of the front part. I love it when there’s a mixture of styles and textures on a shoe, as it shows the creativity and boldness of the designer. This is one bold take on the Mary Jane shoe!
