18-inch high ‘Lady Pointes’ custom-made for the singer by Japanese designer Noritaka Tatehana and worn in the video for Marry the Night.

Currently on show at the ‘Shoe Obesssion’ Exhibition at the New York Fashion Institute Of Technology.

Sadly, herself won’t be wearing anything like this for some time.

Dubliner Juliet Casey (above) writes:

I have been training in classical ballet since I was three years old and have been a member of the Irish National Youth Ballet Company since I was 12. I am now 17 and have been accepted after a difficult audition process to the Northern Ballet School in Manchester. However, the fees are STG£11,310 and I have to raise this money before the beginning of term (September 2012) or I will not be able to take up my place. If anyone is interested there will be a fund-raising “Evening of Classical Music” at 7pm on Friday [August 31] in Kimmage Manor, Whitehall Road, Dublin 12. Thank you.

 

Thanks Joe Casey
