We love these shoes from Bottega Veneta’s 50th anniversary collection, with the brand’s signature, luxe woven details and electric shade of blue. The ankle strap and sturdy wedge heel will prove all the better to keep us steady after a celebratory return to open-toed shoes after a long London winter.
This Bally collection was a burst of colour – a nod to this season’s inspiration from Havana. These slip-ons caught our eye for their elegant, rounded toe and candy-licious colour.
Gianvito Rossi celebrated his label’s 10 year anniversary with a sensual collection including these burlesque-friendly boots. The satin thigh-highs come in a range of colours but we’ll always take a sultry leg — now about those lunges…
Surrounded by a floating garden (inspired by Falling Gardens, an installation by Gerda Steiner and Jorg Lenzlinger), Sandra Choi showcased her latest offerings inside a botanical utopia. We adore this delicate hummingbird bag with intricate mother-of-pearl inlay – as much a jewellery piece as it is a bag.
The staggering height of these silk, floral-patterned platforms was inspired by Venetian prostitutes in the 15th century who wore chopines to walk through Venice’s flooding streets. Embellished with crystal snakes on pink velvet, the ballet slipper on these Gucci platforms can be slipped off (as the slim leather straps suggest) – two shoes for the price of one!
Origami bag anyone? Instead of paper, GIADA’s creative director Gabriele Colangelo uses folded leather for this intricately-made bag. We can’t take our eyes off this uniquely-shaped, architectural piece of fashion origami.
