Do you remember people wearing those leather and nails wrist bands?. I do remember myself wearing on of those too... With those memories in mind, the Italian fashion designers [Dolce & Gabbana](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maximalist-summer-flipflops) got the 80's inspiration for all their spring-summer 2007 collection, where leather, tight clothes, nails, chains , lots of hairspray and colored hairs were the stars of the show... Looking at the pictures of D & G collection for this summer, I have noticed these woman shoes so... trendy, wild, fashion...I am running short of words to give an accurate description of the shoes, but you are lucky to have the picture next to this text.
