Designer Andreia Chaves has unveiled her latest Invisible Shoe, which is a more modern version of her glass slipper from 2010.

Previously using mirrors to create an invisible look, Chaves omitted them for the newest piece and opted for a design that showed off the wearer's foot instead. Showcasing the foot through obtuse triangle cutouts, this pair of pumps is a caged version of its previous reflective self. Featuring a nude heel base for support and protection, this shoe is definitely a step towards a more edgy and defined look.

The Invisible Shoe is super hot and its reincarnation has proven that designer Andreia Chaves is more than just a one-hit wonder when it comes to avant-garde footwear.
