Win a pair of Lara Bohinc boots worth £540
Her fans include SJP, Posh and Cheryl Cole. Now you can own your very own Lara Bohinc peep-toe boots
She’s made a name for herself among the rich and famous designing exquisite jewellery designs and beautiful bag collections as seen on the likes of Anna Friel, Cheryl Cole, Victoria Beckham, Sarah Jessica Parker and Isla Fisher. Slovenian born Lara Bohinc’s architectural jewellery pieces have been making waves in the fashion world since she won a Marks & Spencer New Generation Design Award in 1997 and it was from there that she successfully launched her own company. Keen to expand her accessories range to include footwear, Lara launched her first two shoe collections at the end of last year.
Both the shoes and boots epitomise style and sophistication and unlike many other designer brands, Lara’s pieces are timeless.
It’s another string to add to her Lara Bohinc bow. In addition to her many achievements in the fashion world, Lara has served as design consultant to Cartier for the last nine years and has worked with many top names including Gucci, Lanvin and Julien McDonald.
She said: “I’ve always loved shoes and have dreamt about wearing my own designs for years. My business partner Ernst Malmsten thought that the global recession provided the ideal opportunity to expand our product ranges and accelerate our growth. In these times of doom and gloom people want something more special than ever.”
The Eclipse shoe collection consists of three styles that are inspired by the signature Lunar Eclipse bag. The Seventh Seal Show collection corresponds to the Seventh Seal bag and jewellery collection.
Both the shoes and boots epitomise style and sophistication and unlike many other designer brands, Lara’s pieces are timeless.
Confidential had the pleasure of meeting Lara Bohinc and her team for the launch of her shoe collection at Harvey Nichols in Manchester last December. Speaking about her first trip up North in her Vogue blog, Lara said: “I have to admit that as a non-English-born person I have a slight fear of leaving the familiar confines of Greater London. But surprise surprise, the city looked very pretty once we drove in, not at all as I imagined it to be. The girls there know their fashion like their ABCs. They are groomed, they are glamorous and they like to shop. One of the personal shoppers told me that he sold only one pair of flats this season. The higher the better in Manchester.
Apparently no one goes to town in flats, let alone to an evening out. And I was told that Liverpool and Sheffield are the same. I wonder how comes that the North of England is more glamorous than the South… Is there something in the water? I feel my fear dispersing…”
Having developed a love for the glamour of Manchester, Lara is offering one reader a pair of her stunning, high-heeled Crusade shoe-boots in whichever size required. The design features Y-shaped chainmail and the same thonging details as the Crusade bag. These boots are available at Harvey Nichols in both Manchester and Leeds priced at £540. If you’d like to be in with a chance of winning the pair, click below to enter the competition.
This competition is now closed, congratulations to the winner Donna Mulcahey.

Fingers crossed!
Sorry, they're effing horrible. If they didn't cost over £500 and Mesdames Cole & Beckham didn't covert them, would everybody really be wetting themselves over these shoes?
They're not horrible. The boots are elegant, yet sturdy.
No, they're not. Monolo Blahnik's are elegant, wellies are sturdy
Whoops, Manolo

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!
Wow Sexy shoes to show off my new sexy slim legs :D
Right, I wish to ask a genuine question and as there is no general rant page, I'll ask it here. Exactly what benefits will I receive if I become a member? So far, there is zero hidden behind a paywall, I can book the 'strictly' deals with no probs, even at the weekend and I can enter every competition. It's a genuine question in response to the months of hype surrounding the new site/membership plans, but I expect it will be edited
Puzzled - thanks for your comments. If this is the case then I am rather hacked off that I am paying for something I could be getting for free! Hope you find out and if so let me know!
Oh, and in relation to the current post, I'm inclined to agree with Vikki B, these shoes are hideous, vile and repulsive! However, each to their own eh and good luck to all those that do like them, hope you win!
Well,I am still waiting for an answer, I get more info from the Manchester twitteration this subject, whilst those from Man Con seem more interested in the Manchester Egg........as for the shoes, I agree, they are vile, akin to somethng a hooker or lap dancer would wear. I'll look forward to spotting them out-and-about in Manchester ona Saturday night, probably outside 42nd Street
there is no way you could wear those in 42nd Street. Have you ever been? Anything else you've got a bee in your bonnet about?
Yes,lots...who made you the rant police? No, never been to 42nd Street, just seen the spillage out of the door on a Saturday night.
Who made you the shoe police? 42nd's is not the kind of place you wear these. Stick your preconceptions right up your bottom and watch they don't bang your head on the way.
These shoes are the essence of good taste. I would like them for a lady of mine
Puzzled, re the shoes, thats a bit stereotypical of you isn't it? Please don't become a member, i don't fancy sharing a table with you at Jonathan's next Heroes pub quiz party. By the way, when are we having the next one? I nearly won it last time.
mmm my cross dressing boyfriend will luv them.
mmm my cross dressing boyfriend will luv them.
I'm a cross-dresser, just this morning I couldn't find my fucking socks!
I lend him to you Cheese you would make a luverly pair of odd socks

Yes as there is no page for feedback or general rant, I might as well chip in here too. Please, please, please can you revert to the previous design in terms of functionality, layout, look and feel. The redesign is desperately disappointing and does away with a lot of what made the site so accessible and attractive in the first place. Of course its really the interesting, punchy and relevant editorial / articles that persuaded me to pay and I'm happy to see these remain (although expected some uplift in their volume). But also the way the rants feature binded the whole website together and effortlessly drew readers such as myself into other areas - spending much more time on the site than I otherwise would. Unfortunately, the advent of the lurid colours, oversize ads and crucially all the articles and rants arranged in silos has made for an unattractive, unplesant and disfunctional experience. Despite being a willing, paying member I'm enjoying the experience much less and as a result spending much less time on here. I appreciate this is work in progress - here's hoping for some dramatic improvements in the coming weeks and months.
If you want to discuss the direction of our magazine, you can email me at jonathans@planetconfidential.co.uk or call me on 0161 832 2880. No more comments here about the magazine please.
Look fab, my would love these!
Love the shoes, would need another wardrobe to fit with them is all.
Fiona, I know, but I still want them.

You go to the bother of creating a 'ghost' email address just so you can come on here and whine? Really? What on earth are ManCon going to do with your email address, send deadly emails?
