If you’re going to walk on pins and needles, you might as well look fierce as all hell.

And that’s Nicholas Kirkwood’s cue. The UK designer’s nearly all-black collection of extra-terrestrial stilettos is at the ready for any holiday parading you intend to do.

Ankle boots, pumps, and peek-a-boo heels are constructed in bits of leather, satin, and suede. Additional embroidered trim and brocade wraparound straps add the nicest hint of S&M.

The styles carried now at Seven New York have Kirkwood’s signature platform bottom lip and five-inch heel.

For a look that’s as severe as it sounds.

Available at Seven New York, 110 Mercer Street, between Prince and Spring Streets (646-654-0156 or sevennewyork.com). To see styles, go to nicholaskirkwood.com.
