Gladiator-chic

by Michele Obi on December 8, 2006

What stood out on the runway of Chanel’s cruise 2007 collection? The chic knee high Gladiator sandals, which easily took the spotlight away from the rest of the line. In beige, metallic and black, Lagerfeld presented an incredibly sexy sandal which will no doubt spark a trend for Spring/Summer 07.

Let’s face it, like skinny jeans its unlikely the knee highs will suit all, and Sergio Rossi’s lower length (pictured below) is perfect for those looking for an alternative. The sandal isn’t up on his website yet, but in its place is a higher heeled, mid calf, metallic interpretation, although not as sophisticated.

Strutt Couture also on point has a glam but casual gold chained sandal within its wares for spring/summer 07, with my name all over it!

I have a thing for any sandals that have ties up the ankle or calf but I don’t know if I would ever go as far as taking it up to the knee!
