The big, almost starling, news for spring? The platforms of seasons past has disappeared! Yes, you heard right. No more of those outlandish, glitzy platforms that looked more at home on the Jersey Shore boardwalk than sailing on Lake Como. Good riddance! That doesn’t mean that Donatella’s dumbed herself down when it comes to sky-high footwear; instead she delivered a vertigo-inducing 4.5-inch stiletto heel on a flat sole in well-conceived colors that will appeal to fashion-forward women everywhere. These are shoes that the Louboutin and Pierre Hardy-wearing crowd will actually give a second look at–and that says a lot. My favorite is, without a doubt, the heels that wrap around the ankle echoing the martingale belts.
