Fashion: Holes In The Sides Of Her Shoes
From the catwalk to the red carpet, the hot footwear trend this season is cutout sandals. Evolved from their trendy ankle-boot ancestors, they offer a sexy spin on booties for warm weather. has snipped straight to the point with the befittingly named Cut-Out Bootie, which maintains the classic ankle-boot shape but exposes a triangle of skin just behind the toes (€489; neimanmarcus .com). has created the rebellious Anise Biker Leather Sandal, embellished with bold gems that will be sure to sparkle the next time you take your motorcycle out for a spin (€866; www.jimmychoo.com). For a softer look, the Hande sandals come in black, gray or turquoise leather and feature triple straps and button closures (€632), while the whimsical red Bu sandals, with a provocative black-and-white striped heel, might have been Dorothy’s shoe of choice (€626; manolo blahnik.com). But stealing the spotlight is the metallic Extreme Cutout Sandal, which comes in either silver or gold-tone python finish. With stud detailing and a nearly 12cm-tall heel, this chic sandal shows just the right ratio of python to human skin, and holes that definitely don’t need filling (€531; dior.com).
