Givenchy mules first debuted last year in New York Fashion Week on the Spring/Summer 2016 runway, where it caused that notorious Candice Swanepoel & other model’s fashion week fall. Nonetheless, these Italian-made Givenchy mules are exquisitely beautiful, featuring a lizard-effect and smooth metallic leather. Pair these with a colorful, monochromatic outfit to accentuate the silver heels.

Swiss-born, Milan-based designer Consuelo Castiglioni, who founded the brand Marni over 20 years ago, stepped down from her position earlier this week to welcome her new replacement, Francesco Risso. While it was rumored that Castiglioni would be stepping down after her runway show this fall, the news has stirred up controversy in the fashion world.

In a 2014 interview with The Telegraph, Castiglioni said:
Take these one-of-a-kind sculptural pumps by Marni for example. In a world dominated by sex appeal, they are a refreshing reminder that fashion is not about sex. It is about uniquely expressing one’s individuality through the simplistic art form of dressing.
