Chic Shoegasms: Camilla Skovgaard peeptoe platforms

These Camilla Skovgaard check peeptoe platforms show impeccable attention to detail and, true to form, are seriously fierce to boot.

The architectural style of the wedge is a defining feature of Skovgaard’s line, and the striking shape of the shoe demonstrates a profound knowledge of design that is honed from experience of the global fashion market.

Not for the feint hearted, these platforms are edgy while remaining jaw-droppingly beautiful. Burgundy has been a regular feature in the AW11 collections of endless designers, making them perfect for next season, but the peep-toe feature keeps them suitably stylish for summer, too.

Plus, the mix of harsh patent leather and soft suede with a subtle checked design offers a tangible texture that’ll put you one step ahead of the style stakes.

Surprisingly versatile, team with a little black dress for evenings or indigo denim for a downtown look with lips painted to match. Don’t be put off by the deadly stiletto heel and outlandish angle of the platform – if you’re going to buy one statement sculptural shoe this season, make it this one.
