SEE MANHATTAN ON YOUR FEET WITH THE LEOPARD LOAFER BY A. MARINELLI

Photos taken at King's Carriage House, which we love:

Whom You Know always gets so excited when we kick off coverage of a new shoe brand to us, and today we are thrilled to start covering A. Marinelli.  We knew they would be great because they are the same people that make Anna Capri, and that line is simply divine.

A great look for fall, this leopard loafter screams style with class.
Its proper name is ZULU.
Many brands do animal prints to an extreme that just does not end up being an appealing look, but A. Marinelli did it right the the Zulu.  Also, these are practical with sensible treads ready to take on the Manhattan streets for fall.
Be sure to get your pair!
And after reading the below we are sad to know that the shoe fair is no longer in The Plaza.
A. Marinelli, did you meet Eloise when you were there?
They tell us:
