Out of the cocoon and fluttering right onto your feet. This is one butterfly that is ready to spread its wings! Nobody can ever say Giuseppe Zanotti doesn’t have a knack for the “wow” factor. This over 5″ wedge is all about shock value, in the best way imaginable. And just when you were thinking how you’d be bored to tears by another black wedge.
Suede straps, designed to not only lengthen your legs to another level, but – you guessed it – mimic a butterfly’s wings, have been meticulously decked out in on-tone crystals. Finally, it’s all been set on a seriously sculpted glossy heel and an equally serious platform – thank God for the frontal height to balance it out and keep the ball of your foot from getting murdered, but you’re still basically perched on stilts. Sexy stilts, at that. Just don’t be surprised if you get more foot contact than eye contact! At Bergdorf Goodman for $1,450.
Pair with: Nothing fussy, frilly, or feathery – these shoes have enough going on. Instead, carry Reed Krakoff‘s minimal “Ayers” snakeskin clutch, with a dangling shoulder strap option for even greater ease. On Net-a-Porter for $690.
