ERNEST
This legendary and deviant stiletto heel specialist has been putting heels on the working girls and boys of Pigalle, Parisian cabaret dancers, long-suffering fashion models, as well as all sort of other freaks, since 1904. Made in Italy and France, Ernest stilettos flaunt 10, 12 and 14cm heels, come in knee and thigh-high versions, and in sizes from 32 to 46! Prices sit at about 250€. The patent leather “Go” model was originally developed for Jean-Paul Gaultier, and is today a fave with the Crazy Horse dancers, and the 14cm high Elysée model was preferred by that other pervert Helmut Newton. Mr Erotica himself Guy Bourdin was a fan too. In decline for the last couple of decades, the brand is currently being revived by new owner Isabelle Bordji.
11am-8pm. Closed Sun, Mon.
