Stick-Constructed Stilettos

Take a Walk on the Wild Side with Julia Kaldy

Hungarian designer Julia Kaldy is back with her latest and boldest statement in women’s designer footwear. Although you won’t exactly be walking on sunshine in these modern art heels, you’ll be sure to be turning quite a few heads.

Known for pushing the boundaries of fashion, Kaldy’s creation comes from her 'Construct' collection, which is dedicated to negative space, lines, geometric shapes and the stunning effect that each of these components construct when juxtaposed.

Premiered during Paris’ 'Who’s Next' tradeshow, Construct features a number of similarly minimalist bags and shoes. With a custom-made heel and sole, the striking crisscrossing grid lines of Kaldy’s exquisitely crafted shoe stand out as the crowning jewel of her collection.
