Patent Leather D'Orsay Pumps 90

Alaïa transforms the traditional D'Orsay - a silhouette first worn in 19th-century Paris, famed for its sensuous cutaway sides - into something sculptural and striking. The bold patent leather upper and thin stiletto heel play with proportion and texture, while the open arch reveals the foot like a living artwork.

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.
