Saint Laurent cat boot – Who was first?!

Well, we all know that high street retailers like Zara are largely inspired by high fashion. This inspiration is sometimes so dominant that its hard not to call it copying. However, what I saw on mytheresa while browsing todays new arrivals shocked me!!!!

A beautiful goat leather lace up boot immediately caught my eye. I thought how beautiful the top stitching a little reminiscent of a pumps looks. I thought how well Hedi has melted the pumps he showed on the runway with an ankle boot. But stop!!!! The label read Miu Miu – This shoe isn’t Saint Laurent Cat Boot? Ok both are beautiful. The cat boot comes in patent leather, silver, leo, python at Montaigne Market or with crystals, making it a great piece for the evening. The goat leather Miu Miu has beautiful detailing and seems great for day. However, who was first and who was heavily inspired?
