Demna Gvasalia has always juxtaposed unlikely elements when crafting his designs, and in the case of
Balenciaga's
Corset ankle boots it's the corset and high heels. Originating from the late Renaissance, the former symbolises the subordination of western women, while the latter is linked here to fetish and the freedom of sexual expression. Sculpted from patent sheepskin leather and set on a polished palladium heel, this pointy pair features corset-style laces and semi-shiny hardware which, when combined, create a dominatrix aesthetic.
