In the current fashion climate a platform shoe isn’t anything unusual. In fact, sometimes it seems it’s mandatory for high heels! But not all platforms are your run-of-the-mill wooden block.
Rather, Italian brand Gianmarco Lorenzi has taken advantage of the trend and made shoes with unique, architectural platforms. In this way, they are more than just a means to make the shoes higher. The platforms are themselves a focal point of the shoe.
Cut out platforms in wood and suede appearances, and unique “double platforms” which have an indented sole are just two of the ideas represented in this collection. The heels themselves are styled as sandals, slingbacks and mules (if you can look away from the bottom of the shoe long enough to inspect!).
A second key feature of these platforms is the extensive use of rhinestones to add sparkle to many of the shoes. Glittery and glamorous are words that we don’t have difficulty using to describe these heels.
Scroll below for a closer look at some of the selection of Gianmarco Lorenzi platform heels that are setting the trends this season.
