Which pair of slingbacks should you invest in this season?
True emblems of luxury since the 1950s, slingbacks are the legacy of Mademoiselle Gabrielle Chanel. Worn by icons such as Carrie Bradshaw, sublimated by Manolo Blahnik, or revamped by Roger Vivier for Catherine Deneuve, these legendary shoes are the epitome of elegance. Featured on every catwalk, they are simply timeless.
Slingbacks go high
High heels – over 8.5 cm – transcend mere footwear by giving each model an ounce of audacity. Slingbacks make no exception. Among the prevailing designs of this season are Amina Muaddi’s sumptuous satin heels, Prada’s brushed leather slingbacks and a comeback to the golden age of the 1960s glamour at the house of Gucci, with orange pieces.
While some brands, such as Balmain, opt for opulence with stilettos adorned with large monogrammed buckles, others favor timeless chic with slim, short heels, like Jennifer Chamandi. Whether you’re sporting a pair of D-Venus heeled slingbacks by Diesel or iconic creations from the J’Adior collection by the house of Dior, every step will propel you into the spotlight.

Classic slingbacks
Reworking the classic slingback, symbol of feminine elegance, luxury brands are giving their own interpretation of the 1950s charm.
Christian Louboutin dares the hybridization with designs reminiscent of ballerina’s pointe shoes, while Gianvito Rossi sublimates its pairs in a così italiano pistachio green. Diversity is also expressed through materials and details, with leather caning and vintage codes at Neil J.Rodgers’, or casual denim at Mango.
The versatility of slingbacks prove that rather than being an ephemeral trend, they are in fact a must-have, from Aeyde’s two-tone slingbacks to Sézane’s khaki Paula pair or Carel’s new pink design.

Flat-heeled slingbacks
Whether you want to ride your bike along the banks of the Seine, run from one meeting to another or attend a wedding, flat slingbacks have the superpower to match any situation.
From Milan with Dolce & Gabbana to the heart of Paris with Celine or the crowded streets of New York with Proenza Schouler, these black leather shoes offer a delicate touch of elegance to any silhouette.
At Chanel’s, on the legendary Rue Cambon, the classic shoe is reinterpreted with a two-tone model featuring a bow and discreet logo on its iconic grosgrain canvas. For a more contemporary look, Valentino introduces a white fishnet design, while Aquazzura opts for green suede and Roger Vivier prefers a pastel yellow tint, forecasting sunny days.
