Thought Louboutins were expensive? World's first £100,000 gold and diamond bespoke stilettos (coming soon to a WAG near you)

By Maysa Rawi

Created by bespoke jewelers House of Borgezie, the world's first designs have already created a stir among celebrities.

With a red sole and sky-high heels, these shoes could easily be mistaken for a pair of Christian Louboutins.

But with a £100,000 price tag, the Eternal Diamond stiletto - made entirely from gold and diamonds - makes most luxury brands look High Street. 

Girl's best friend: The Eternal Diamond stiletto is made using 2,200 brilliant cut diamonds, totalling 30 carats

Bling, bling: Orders have already been placed by A-listers from the world of football, music and modelling

And although the clientele is strictly confidential until pieces have been completed, we can reveal they include - surprise, surprise - A-listers from the world of football, music and modelling.

Venturing a guess on who has placed orders would likely lead to Cheryl Cole, Victoria Beckham and Paris Hilton, whose excessive tastes are funded by a bank balance to match.

Made by British jewellery designer Christopher Michael Shellis, each pair is handcrafted from solid gold and then encrusted with 2,200 brilliant cut diamonds, totalling 30 carats. 

Shellis has spent three years working on the creation, perfect for summer balls, society weddings and red carpet events.

Making a statement: Luckily, the bespoke heels, retailing from £100,000, come with a 1,000 year guarantee

Shellis said: 'To bring the Eternal Diamond Stilletto to life, I quite literally had to reinvent the fundamental principle of classical stiletto construction.

'The result is not so much a shoe, but rather a fine piece of jewellery that can be miraculously yet practically worn as the ultimate feminine adornment.'

Luckily, the high heels come with a 1,000 year guarantee.

Or a night out on the tiles could end in disaster - or fortune for a lucky passer by - should a diamond or two come loose.

Yves Saint Laurent Sparks Debate By Launching Cigarettes

“The woman who smokes Yves Saint Laurent cigarettes is more attractive than one who smokes another brand or doesn’t smoke at all“  claims the fashion house.

Yves Saint Laurent is taking its conception of “Le Smoking” seriously—and perhaps a tad too literally. When the French fashion house isn’t employing African artisans to cobble purses together from recycled plastic bags and fair-trade cotton, it’s also lending its moniker to a line of cigarettes. So much for social responsibility. Marketed to women in Asia and Russia, the smokes come in minimalist black boxes with gold foil. You don’t have to pony up for prestige pricing, either: On line retailers hawk the cancer sticks, which have been around since 1989, for up to £22 per 200-cigarette pack.

We all know the dangers of tobacco, the gaucheness of nicotine-stained teeth, or the idiocy of self-induced lung cancer and heart disease. The money pumped into the NHS aimed at preventing smokers from starting and assistance to stop, make it impossible for us not to know. For the less-informed, however, YSL offers a Faustian deal. Its cigarettes, according to the luxury label, creates a “sense of appeal to female vanity and thereby making the woman who chose to smoke Yves Saint Laurent cigarettes more attractive than one who smokes another brand, or more attractive than a woman who did not smoke at all.

YSL showing how 'glamorous' smoking can look!

YSL isn’t the only high-end brand to market so-called “fashion cigarettes.” Other companies known to have dabbled in the practice include Givenchy, Versace, Pierre Cardin, Christian Lacroix, and Cartier. Ironically, in a 1968 interview, Saint Laurent himself admitted he didn’t smoke his eponymous cigarettes, claiming not to “like the flavour.”

With fashion targeting the younger market, Is this fashion or irresponsibility?.........
