an incredible shoe shop on santa monica blvd, near larabee in west hollywood. i remember, (like it was yesterday) going into fred slatten sometime during 1975. while walking down SMB i spotted the most amazing hand-made platform shoes and made a beeline for the door. i saved up for months to purchase a pair of brownish platforms that i wore everyday for one year.
many years later, i found out that my dear freind- the late/great
MUNDO MEZA used to hand-paint the designs for fred.
these shoes are classic 1970s vintage. if you're lucky enough to still have a pair, hold on to them. they are priceless.
