Shoes are truly girl’s best friends. Discover Aperlaï by Alessandra Lanvin. Amazing shoes collection created in France and made in Italy. It is all inspired by the beauty of design and the edgy taste for beauty. In 2009, when Alessandra Lanvin founded Aperlaï, it was pretty clear that the aim of the Shoe house would be to propose outstanding shoes design for an elegant and sophisticated clientele. Of course with such a family name, it was obvious that there was already an artistic background opened to creation.

In deed, Alessandra Lanvin is married to Hubert Lanvin, the grandson of Jeanne Lanvin, founder of the Fashion house of the same name. Despite of the name, it is truly Alessandra’s talent and taste for design that pushed her to create such precious and personal things for a woman as shoes. In an interview given to wwd.com, she explained that when she was pregnant, she used to wear beautiful but often uncomfortable shoes. That gave her the idea to develop shoes that would be very graphic, like a sculpture. Though still wearable! So some of her secrets for a perfect pair of shoes that will not kill you is either shock absorption pads in flat shoes or heels never too high in general.
