Label Text:“It is from the heel that the last, the shoe’s shape, is made, but it is also from the heel that the shoe’s magic blossoms,” designer Alberto Guardiani explains. Heels are a particular point of emphasis for the designer. His “Lipstick Heel” design has been made in several iterations since its initial release in 2010. The playful shoes include lipstick-shaped heels in various shades that can be interchanged to match the wearer’s outfit or mood.
