Exploring new narratives and mythological creatures, Gucci's Creative Director tapped into the symbolically majestic imagery of the dragon with a highly detailed embroidery design. The pointed toe of the ankle boot silhouette definitely adds to the aura of sophistication and shows off an exquisite attention to detail.
