YSL eelskin slingback heels in exotic pink
Eel skin is a material we've seen far more of in bags and accessories than shoes, but here, YSL are using the waxy, fishy fabric to create texture and toughness in these rather extraordinary 'exotic pink' heels.
The heels themselves are every bit as exotic as the leather: they're a positively vertiginous 4-inch stiletto, given a slightly rough-cut edge by the eelskin, which I think lends them the appearance of chiselled wood. The hidden platform and clonky toes also remind me more than a little of those Vivienne Westwood shoes that sent Naomi Campbell flying, so wear these with caution!
$895 at Saks Fifth Avenue
