One Step at a Time

Alright, everyone! Attention here, please.

Let’s go over that dance number again.

Capezios, you’re doing jazz moves. Mules for the tango; platforms for the hustle; stilettos for the samba.

Méchante of London? Now that you’re here, come front and center for the everyday catwalk. Follow the leader — 26-year-old Deborah Lyons — who treats each shoe like a work of art, creating strong shapes (towering heels, bold platforms, peekaboo pumps) in a mix of brightly colored silk, python, leather, and metal.

Darling, you’re doing a fox-trot already? Just imagine how many pairs you’ll be waltzing home with.

Five, six, seven, and eight.
