Valentino’s latest runway collections got rave reviews; certainly, the man knows how to retire in style. Colorful, playful, elegant, chic, and at times simply breathtaking–such were his offerings in the Paris show. The shoes were equally beautiful; although perhaps not completely innovative (we’ve seen the double-knotted strappy sandal before, as well as the vividly-colored platforms, the cut-out wedges, and the metallics). Still, the shoes were pretty, pretty, pretty–whether in pink, purple, gold, or black.

You want them, you know you do–plus, they’ll quickly achieve collector status, given that this is Valentino’s last season as a designer.
