It started with a couple of breakout brands, especially in London, where new shoe labels were creating bold new shapes and putting sculptural heels in the spotlight... Now, as we head into a new season any shape other than basic block or simple stiletto will earn you style points.
Make sure you know your orb from your cone as the trend has spread to the high street, proving considered design doesn’t need to cost the earth.
It also is a very easy way to tap into an edgier mood as you can slip all these styles on with faded jeans and a tee shirt without feeling your outfit is overly conceptual.
These are #TheDailyShoe’s favourites… Click below to shop my selection.
