Nicole Richie in studded gladiator sandals from Azzedine Alaia.
Shoebunny spotted Nicole in studded gladiator sandals.
Fashion Designer Azzedine Alaia is born in Tunesia and made his way over Paris to New York. Key ideas of his creations are purity of form and structure. He likes to design little black leather dresses, uses zippers as accessoriy and of course designs such warrior sandals like Nicole Richie is often wearing. And he designs for women who like to emphazise their bodies: „A woman’s not going to buy a little skirt for a lot of money if it’s not for seduction. What else are clothes made for?”
And gladiator sandals are seductive, even though they look quite rough and simple. Warrior Goddesses wear gladiator sandals, remember Cleopatra or the french Joan of Arc. And didn’t Liz Taylor look stunning when she played Cleopatra in gladiator sandals. Well, Nicole Richie is far away from this category of women, but she looks great in Azzedine Alaia gladiator sandals. And we can be sure, that they are very comfortable, as we see her wearing them several times for different occasions. And you see that you can combine them with any dress combination you wish. So Azzedine Alaia gladiator sandals are not some kind of summer flirt, they are your companion for lifetime. Once you wear them, you will never leave them again.
And here are other great gladiator sandals, comparable to thoses Nicole Richie is wearing:
