Patent Leather Criss-Cross Ballet Flats

You can always count on Alaïa to add interest to the simplest silhouettes, as is evidenced by these Italian-crafted ballet flats. Set atop barely-there rubber soles, the patent leather pair is secured with criss-cross straps that beautifully frame your feet and ensure a comfortable tread.

The legendary Paris fashion house was founded in the sixties and by the 1980s, Tunisian sculptor and couturier, Azzedine Alaïa’s powerful, feminine silhouettes were revered worldwide. Today, his legacy prevails in dresses and ready to wear, shoes and bags, including the cult La Coeur heart bag.
