Christian Lacroix designs for Gola







I am not a big fan of trainers... a bit snobby perhaps, but I don't find trainers very flattering or exciting, while if you wear heels, you improve you posture, your style, your silhouette and the fineness of your foot all in one go, and if you have ever read Cinderella, you will know the importance of a fine foot.

However, I must confess I do have after-party Adidas ballerinas in my bag on long clubbing nights, and it is true comfort must (sometimes) be considered. However, even when it comes to trainers, you have the choice to maintain a certain standard of elegance: proof with the new line of shoes Lacroix designed for reknown footwear brand Gola, which offers an interesting alternative to your basic squat flat tennis shoes.

Last year, Gola had collaborated with Jonathan Saunders and come up with chic trainers in understated colours and elegant shapes. This year the partnership with Lacroix has created a more baroque and luxurious line, showcasing the trademark Lacroix paisley pattern in shiny metallic embossed leather... Very 17th century wall covering, n'est-ce pas? Luxury shoes for fashionistas who want a day off.

Available from all Christian Lacroix stores from January 2009.
