Crafted in Italy from luxurious black velvet with an intricate lace-up gladiator silhouette, open toe design, ankle wrap ties, and slender high heel. The dramatic strappy construction seen on the runway perfectly captures the glamour that defined the Fall 2002 collection. An increasingly difficult piece to source, especially with documented runway provenance.
