Gucci <br> Tom Ford S/S 1999 runway turquoise heel slingbacks

An instantly recognisable pair of runway heels from Tom Ford's S/S 1999 collection for Gucci, these slingback heels are crafted in midnight navy grosgrain effect textile with a rounded closed toe, slender black slingback straps and sculpted kitten heels in a striking electric turquoise blue. The vivid flash of colour at the heel is quintessentially late 90's Tom Ford Gucci: minimal in line, but unexpected and highly graphic in execution. Variations of this silhouette appeared repeatedly on the S/S 1999 runway, styled throughout the collection with everything from embellished trousers to sleek black tailoring. The collection represented a colourful departure from Ford's darker minimalism of the preceding seasons, combining his characteristically sensual silhouettes with vivid colour, embroidery, beading and eclectic detailing. Made in Italy. Reference Photos: (1-3) Gucci S/S 1999 Fashion Show Size: 36.5 Fabrication: textile/leather Condition: Excellent/Very Good; signs of wear to soles and heels
