This season, Laurence Dacade embraced a classic viewpoint with cap-toe slingbacks
Footwear designer Pierre Hardy made good use of Hermès’ ample crocodile supply with tall boots in a deep green
Céline showed an airier take on last season’s block-heel ballet flat with an open weave and pastel jeweled embellishments dripping from the distinctly duck-billed toe
Junya Watanabe took the decorative legwear trend in a whole other direction, using the shin as a sketchpad. It added “made-you-look” whimsy to tough studded oxfords.
Isabel Marant’s mid-heel patchwork over-the-knee boots nicely recaptured the allure of what the Marant woman stands for: louche, slightly bohemian in attitude, with seduction worn lightly
Balmain’s tasseled pumps in sensible beige would have appeared preppy were they not jolted with metallic toe-capping and paired with vampy sheer hosiery
Dries Van Noten's collection merged ornate princess pieces with military elements. It was only fitting that footwear followed suit with chunky cylindrical boots and sandals done in decorative brocades.
Anthony Vaccarello worked with Stella Luna again on a very Parisian roundup of stiletto sandals and booties. They came styled with slouched socks and featured outsize emblem embellishments.
