If it was possible to be magicked into the theatricality of a 1920s Parisian ballet, we imagine the dancers would be zipping up the High Ballet ankle boots from Alaïa before performing their swan-like routine to a starry-eyed audience. Inspired by classical Japanese shoes, this leather pair is crowned with a slender strap elongating across the round toe and scattered with a constellation of glittering crystals, destined to split the light into tiny shards with every pirouette and pose.
