Kate wore an emerald version of the style beloved by the Olsen twins, Adele and Sarah Jessica Parker in her first official portrait with Prince William.
’s Hangisi shoes might most commonly be associated with Carrie Bradshaw, but the heeled pumps embellished with crystal buckles, bearing no fewer than 144 stones each, truly belong to another woman: Empress Joséphine, the resplendent first wife of Napoleon I.
Known for her love of fine things and her tempestuous relationship with her husband, because of the sums she spent on keeping herself at the forefront of fashion, Blahnik extracted the jewel tones and ornate adornment of Josephine’s portraits and channelled them into one embellished satin pump style for all the ages. The Hangisi, whose name has Turkish origins, was born in 2008 and has since been reimagined in over 100 different materials and colourways, and in seven different heel heights.

That’s the beauty of my job.” His encyclopaedicmight have led him to the Empress of the French, but his business nous told him to adapt the Hangisi model into boots, mules and flats.
