Arguably, there is nothing more glamorous than the golden era of Hollywood, which the Charlotte Olympia Pre-Fall 2013 collection embraces wholeheartedly. Whether that is with the words emblazoned on the sides of skyhigh wedges or insinuated through the use of actual strips of translucent film, the footwear is absolutely fierce. This is also due in large part to the height of the heels.
The perfect complement to the brand's similarly themed Hollywood handbags, the Charlotte Olympia Pre-Fall 2013 collection is a fun take on movie magic. Although some of the designs are a bit gimmicky, overall, women will be entirely enchanted. The line also honors some of the greatest onscreen icons. For instance, a few of the flats are adorned with portrait brooches of Rita Hayward and Bette Davis.
