Cheap vs. Chic: Nicholas Kirkwood-esque shoes at Aldo

Every high street shoe chain seems to be having a go at 'doing' Nicholas Kirkwood at the moment, and who can blame them? His iconic styles are red hot right now and well out of the price range of the average shoe addict.

Aldo's strappy black and electric blue platform sandal (pictured left, if you hadn't clocked that) gets a thumbs-up from me as a great designer inspired shoe that's not hiding its influences but isn't relying too heavily on copycat tactics either. The vivid colour palate and exposed platform is very Kirkwood, but the straps bring a more relaxed tone to the shoes that would make them very wearable. £85 at Aldo (or £655 for the Nicholas Kirkwood pair in black, Browns)
