Gallery label
Disco and futuristic fantasy fuelled many of Terry de Havilland's designs; he was particularly well known for high platform-soled shoes in metallic leathers, reptile skins and clear plastics with sparkling decoration. Similar extrovert tendencies are visible in these boots made in a cowboy style in bright blue and red leather, with extra-high heels.(1997)
