A modern take on the Follies Strass and a bold testament to the designer’s undying passion for transparency and beauty, Christian Louboutin’s vertiginous crystal-embellished Maia Labella stilettos are set atop a concealed platform and secured by a set of slender straps that weave up to fasten above your ankle.
They are available in a variety of colors at Selfridges, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Bergdorf Goodman. Do you prefer sandals or pumps?
