[HS2&KK Premium]Cesare Paciotti - The "Dagger heels" 120 (Patreon)

Long time no see! I'm back!

This time, I'm bringing you Cesare Paciotti's classic design — the Dagger Heel Pumps (12cm heel height).

I've actually wanted to make these shoes for quite some time since my very first supporter sended me a picture, but I've been stuck because I couldn't find standard three-view reference images of this model. Since the passing of designer Mr. Paciotti, the official website no longer provides useful reference visuals, so this project kept getting delayed. Given that things haven't improved and there's no point in putting it off any longer, I decided to go ahead and create them based on various photos. So please understand that this shoe may not perfectly replicate the original design — details like the shoe opening and heel shape might differ from the actual product.

The most distinctive feature of the Dagger Heels is definitely the metal dagger ornament extending from the heel counter all the way down to the base of the heel, along with the lace pattern on the outsole. For the lace pattern, I used similar shaped texture from other sources, so it is not match the original exactly.

With a 12cm ultra-high heel, the silhouette is somewhat reminiscent of the So Kate, though the heel is slightly thicker and tilts forward a bit, which should offer better stability. Additionally, the signature version of the Dagger Heels features suede material, so this time I didn't use my usual patent leather. Because of the suede wrap, the heel stack appears slightly smaller. Of course, if you prefer patent leather, you can easily adjust the "Upper" mesh parameters using ME to achieve that look.

The next MOD will be free content again. Lately, my free updates have been similar contents with all these Repetto styles (sorry LOL), so for the next update, I'll be making a completely new shoe model. Tentatively, I'm planning to work on this year's new Gianvito Rossi stiletto sandal — the Manhattan 95. Stay tuned!
