Pumps

Christian Louboutin's Fannylove pump pairs an almond toe with an 85mm sculptural heel, slim from the back and more structured in profile, with a glimpse of the house's signature red at the arch. Cut in Cosme brown suede calf leather with a tonal lining and padded insole, it rests on an 'Everlasting Red' sole, coated for lasting colour.

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.

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.

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.
