Pumps

The Pigalle is Christian Louboutin's pointed-toe pump, here on a 100mm stiletto heel. The upper is black patent calf leather with a high-gloss surface and a low, scooped throat that shows the arch. The sole is red. One colour and one line, and the gloss does the rest.

Aquazzura's Voltaire slingback is cut with a deep, asymmetric side opening, so the vamp reads as one clean sweep of beetroot suede from the pointed toe to a narrow strap behind the heel. It stands on an 85mm stiletto with a squared tip, and the suede carries the colour with a soft, matt depth.

Low vamp transparent pumps. 100 mm heel. Adjustable ankle strap. Almond shaped toe. Signature transparent silhouette. Upper in mesh fabric. Trims and heel in ribbon fabric. Made in Italy.

Aquazzura's Odysea pump plays two textures against each other, dark espresso suede across the body meeting a glossy patent cap at the toe. A slim ankle strap closes with a small gold buckle, and a covered stiletto heel keeps the line clean through to the sole.

Aquazzura updates the classic pointed-toe pump with a low-cut vamp and an 85mm heel, a single line from instep to toe. Cut from supple espresso suede and finished with a cushioned leather insole, the Voltaire trades ornament for a clean, wearable shape.

Classic proportions meet refined versatility in the Essence Pumps. Rendered in premium black suede, this Italian-crafted design is distinguished by a sleek pointed toe and a suede-covered 105 mm stiletto heel. A timeless wardrobe investment, it lends instant polish to every look.

Lanvin sets a white leather panel into the vamp of this black slingback, a graphic two-tone line in the spirit of the house's Art Deco heritage. The toe is long and pointed, the strap closes with a gold-toned buckle, and the insole carries Lanvin's signature blue. The heel is the surprise: short, glossy and sculpted into a flared spool.
