It has been less than a month since Anthony Vaccarello opened his sophomore Saint Laurent collection with a pair of crystal-encrusted boots, and fans are already clamoring to secure a pair before they land in stores. With a slouchy silhouette and coated with 3 000 crystals, the high-wattage accessory from the brand’s Fall 2017 collection has an impressive wait-list at Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman, reports WWD. Despite the hefty price, which clocks in at US $10 000, Saks’ fashion director, Roopal Patel, says it’s “the boot of the season,” although neither retailer revealed how many people have signed up.
The 80s-inspired footwear created a buzz on social media when it debuted on the runway and immediately grabbed the attention of Rihanna. Not one to waste time to jump on a trend, the singer was the first person to wear them. She wore the hot-off-the-runway boots with distressed jeans, a graphic T-shirt, and an oversized leather jacket. Naturally, many want to follow in Rihanna’s fashionable footsteps. However, if you can’t wait to get your hands on the Saint Laurent crystal boots, you can shop Vogue Arabia’s edit of sparkly boots.
