]]> In honour of this season’s most daring, dom accessory, Hit List takes to the fashion arena with the sexiest, flirt-to-the-death gladiator sandals on the market.

Office FORUM GLADIATOR 13535 10060 £48 MARCH

Office Forum Gladiator White Leather Sandals

First out of the gates are wedged sandals by the always reliable Office. The white leather plays the to the monochrome trend, but is more airy in the face of heat than heavy black. And unlike some sandals that seem to fall apart at first step, these strappies are comfortable and sturdy, providing a surprising amount of support.

Available for £48 from Office.co.uk

Marios Schwab Black Gladiator Sandals

Black, strappy and full of fringe. Who needs 5-inch heels to romp around when the metal buckle and funky fringe can play up any summer dress or tailored suit? Though they may be flats, it’s clear these Marios Schwab sandals are the party-hard players of the bunch.

Available for £245 from Avenue32.com

ACNE £850 @ SHOESCRIBE

Acne Gladiator Chunky Sole Sandals

Acne prevailed in making a dominatrix dream shoe fit for the more coy among us. The up-to-the-knee layered straps of jet black PVC make for an imposing structure, but the chunky, sparkled platform soles give comfort and support — in addition to bad-ass sex appeal. These boots are made for walking all over…

Stuart Weitzman Gladiator Wedges in Truffle

The heel is low, but these warm brown gladiator cut out boots by Stuart Weitzman ensure that class is knee-high. The woody, natural leather colour brings the sensuality of the gladiator heel without making a harsh or crass statement.

Available for £300 from Stuartweitzman.com

River Island Cut Out Low Wedge Gladiator Sandals

The cut out low wedges by River Island bring a little sexy to a very ethereal design. The wedge is just high enough, and the rough cut leather makes the gladiator design sweeter and less intimidating.

Available for £40 from Riverisland.com

Acne_Main_SS13_Lila_Nude

Acne Lila Nude Gladiator Heels

While they’re not pushing boundaries like the PVC bad boys above, these Lila Nude ankle boots by Acne make a statement all of their own. The straps add some biker chic to the sweet nude colour, and the enormous pink jelly heeled soles bring funk back to the present.

Available for £450 from Acne Studios

Topshop Rafferty High Gladiator Sandal

While lower on the price scale, Topshop managed to create one of the more chic heels of the bunch. The Rafferty design consists of peach, salmon pink and black colour-bloacked straps crisscrossing over the sole. Add that daring gold metal stiletto heel, and you’ve got a seriously sophisticated design.

Available for £62 from Topshop.com

]]> While trends resurface once over every few seasons: “the new minimalism”, “fifties revival” and so on and so forth, SS12 introduced a glimmer of something unseen – under the sea creatures on the catwalk. Designers dipped their toes in iridescent, futuristic fabrics, taking this season’s pretty pastels in a more esoteric direction; encapsulated in today’s shoot. Seahorses, shells, and starfish popped up everywhere in a muted palette of white, pale lavender, mint green and an array of underwater blues injected with glistening silvers.

Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel lead the pack transforming the Grand Palais into a surreal sea world: waffle-textured organza tanks and tops layered to resemble jellyfish, turquoise fish fins on tunic dresses, and mother-of-pearl accessories completing the looks.

Elsewhere at Versace, Donatella summoned deep-sea sirens in lithe mermaid dresses – from mini to figure-hugging full lengths. Signature-Gianni studs were scattered to look like sea urchin shells, but the trend came alive when photo-transfers of pastel seasides combined with the house baroque. Of course, being the print capital, London decidedly stole the show with engineered water-waves appearing on Peter Pilotto’s sculpturist silhouettes and J.W. Anderson’s aquatic paisleys.

While the overriding femininity of the trend isn’t for everyone, there’s always Haider Ackermann’s seaside nomads – veiled in cobalt blue sheer tops, persian green tapered trousers and slip on flats. Or Alberta Ferretti’s slim-cut slip dresses that fall loosely on the body, in thin, shiny fabrics and spaghetti straps for a louche nineties feel (complete with dripping wet locks).

Whimsical yet sharp, airy yet structured, the trend’s whispers of couture-detailing escape an antique feel, with innovative fabrics that push technology to fashion’s forefront. Less sports couture – this is every day opulence.
