Splurge of the Week: Valentino Gladiator Sandal
| With a couple of Crimes of Fashion, Valentino hasn't faired well here on TheSmartStylist.com. And just for the record, I'm not singling him out. I have the outmost respect for his creativity and consider him as one of fashion's most important and most influential person. As for the fashion offenders that I deliver into justice week after week, they can be a criminal this week and a hero the next. Besides life is to short to hold a grudge on something that's ugly. |  Valentino Gladiator Sandal Pre-Order $595.00 Saks |
 | No offense, but I got tired of seeing flat heeled metallic gladiator sandals. They are in any and every store that sells footwear! Yet, oddly enough I've only seen a handful of people actually wearing them. Heeled, gladiator style and cut-out sandals on the other hand are hot right now.  (l) Gucci 'Marion' High-Heel Sandals $995.00 Saks (r) Dior Cut-Out Platform Sandals $780.00 Saks |
Valentino took away the bad taste, flat heeled gladiator sandals left in my mouth with his chic and elegantly designed sandal. By no means I consider this a redemption from the fashion offense he committed, it's simply Valentino being Valentino.
