In fashion, designer labels are immortalized not by entire collections—no matter how incredible—but by a few select pieces that prove to be simply unforgettable. This is the idea that the latest line of footwear from Gucci seems to abide by; the most iconic pairs are tweaked, rather than transformed or completely replaced with new styles. And while changes in color and material render the shoes -ber month-ready, it is the exquisite familiarity of these “oldies but goodies” that makes them so appealing to the avid fashionista.
For instance, the “Daisy” T-strap sandal sheds its previous metallic skin for neutral mock-croc and stern suede. The chunky "Karen" bootie, on the other hand, is spruced up with rich, varnished crocodile leather that encases even the entire heel. Then there’s the extra-comfy “Cathrine” loafer—or “moccasin,” as is dictated by fashion parlance—that reverts from a high-gloss, schoolgirl-sharp patent leather to a textured, “worn-in” pelt.
Other steppers that made the cut are the super-slim thigh-high “Karen” boots, the zipped-to-ankle “Tile” bootie, and a sweet thong sandal called the “Glam Orchid” for its single floral embellishment.
