Flat shoes reign supreme for AW13 in a host of new season finishes, from Saint Laurent’s evening-ready
slippers and Ferragamo’s classic ballerinas to Charlotte Olympia’s best-selling kitty flats.

2. Alexander McQueen
Alexander McQueen proves that
decadence in the shoe department
is not strictly reserved for heeled
styles with this pair of lavishly
embroidered flats. Crafted in luxe
suede, the trims are finished with
gold-tone leather while the shoe is
hand-embroidered with polka dots
and a star motif. Shimmering
diamantés add the perfect finishing
touch.

3. Nicholas Kirkwood
A hint of nostalgia for Mod styling is
detectable in Nicholas Kirkwood’s
gleaming leather Ecuador shoe.
Black leather is crafted for a round
toe that is emphasised by the white
piping along the sole. Helping to
secure the Velcro tab is a shiny
jewel that glints spectacularly in the
light. Work them with a loose-fit
tee and a pair of roll-up denims for
retro cool.

4. Giuseppe Zanotti
The smoking slipper continues to
reign supreme this season so why
not invest in Giuseppe Zanotti’s
punchy printed pair. Featuring a
stylish ponyhair finish and glossy
gold-tone embellishments, this
exquisite style will add effortless
appeal to every look.

5. KG Kurt Geiger
Brogues continue to be a great
winter flat, as their masculine edge
brings a lovely contrast to soft
winter knits and leggings. This
version from KG Kurt Geiger, with
eye-catching stud detailing in silver
and black crystals, are sure to be a
winter wardrobe favourite.

6. Carvela Kurt Geiger
Step into regal territory with
Carvela’s Legal slipper shoe.
Featuring a faux suede upper, the
shoes are finished with an
embroidered crest design,
embellished with faceted jewel
stones. Complete with a low heel,
these shoes will take your look from
day to night.

7. Charlotte Olympia
With a striking ‘lips’ detail on its
gently rounded toe in contrasting
silky-soft suede, these flats by
Charlotte Olympia are match made
in heaven with cropped cigarette
trousers or a pencil skirt. They are
even a chic evening alternative to a
heel, adding a burst pop of colour
to a little black dress.
