It's a great—nay, interesting—moment to be a shoe (and, obviously, a lover of the art form). The Prada woman is wearing point-toe pumps embellished with a fringed clump of diamanté at the heel, businesslike up front and party-ready at the back. Loewe's customer is adding chisel-toed "aqua booties" to her basket. And Chloe's bohemian spirit? She's had the biggest about-turn of all, swapping flat Mary-Janes, decorated with buckles and old-fashioned broguing, for a shoe worthy of Cinderella.
