Insanely Intricate High Heels

Charlotte Olympia Spring 2012 Collection is Mind-Blowingly Detailed

— October 18, 2011 — Fashion
Somewhere, Kim Kardashian and her sisters are going crazy over the Charlotte Olympia Spring 2012 collection. Designer Charlotte Dellal is certainly a celebrity favorite whose shoes have been worn by some of the biggest names in the business, but none of her other collections have screamed celebrity lifestyle as much as this one does.

The Charlotte Olympia Spring 2012 collection was inspired by Beverly Hills and Miami and definitely does not disappoint. In fact, I'm pretty sure my jaw literally dropped when I saw the first two pairs.

The structural heels and intricate designs are so gorgeous and bring Charlotte Olympia into the big-timers' league with Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo and Nicholas Kirkwood.

"You know, I’m not the type of girl to wear high heels to the beach,” says Charlotte Dellal, teetering on the sand at her presentation in palm-frond heels. “But I think that this might have been how my grandmother did poolside glamour."
