Discover this season's most show-stopping heels

The concept of wearable art reaches new heights with this season's stand-out shoe moments. Heels take the form of roses, soap bars and coiling snakes, as captured in Vogue Scandinavia's extraordinary shoe story for the June/July issue.

Reimagining the traditional stiletto silhouette has become a reoccurring trope for Jonathan Anderson at Loewe, with his surrealist creations impressing shoe aficionados around the world. However, an avant-garden approach to shoewear is a timeless concept that continually pushes fashion's creatives to deconstruct the norm. Let your imagination run wild with this season's most unexpected heels.

A true object d'art, Loewe’s sandals are one of the season's most sought-after styles. The minimalistic, strappy design draws all focus to a heel crafted in the likeness of a rose - crepe petals and thorns included. Constructed from buttery soft calfskin, the surprisingly wearable heels are to be saved for special occasions or added to the curated selection of a serious collector. A pair that will go down in history.

René Caovilla has been the name behind the most precious party shoes since 1923 and the Venetian label's latest ‘Margot’ sandals are no exception. The yellow crystal-embellished leather strap forms the illusion of a snake, coiling from the tip of the heel to elegantly encase the ankle. A guaranteed head-turner and enduring investment.

Known for a dedication to meticulously made-to-measure footwear, London-based Iva Minkova creates shoes that could be plucked from a daydream. These pink satin quartz sandals are suspended on a 100mm jewelled heel and completed with sleek translucent straps. Personalised to bear the wearer's name on the inside, this is truly original pair to last a lifetime.

Inspired by American visual artist Man Ray, Loewe's SS22 shoe collection instantly piqued interest, and the most buzz has been around its soap-shaped heels. Equal parts surrealist and humorous, the kitsch block heels mimic a classic lavender bar of soap, forming the foundations for thin-strapped white sandals which transport us straight to the the early 2000s. Best paired with a mini dress for summer parties.

For Olivier Rousteing’s spectacular 10th anniversary show for Balmain, golden chain details embellished everything from dresses to shoes. The maximalist Ultima sandals from the collection are no exception, grafted in shiny golden leather and gleaming chainlinks, and set on architectural bowed 105mm heels. A choice for the bold, best worn after dark with an all-black ensemble.

LA-based Parsons graduate Arielle Baron is one to watch, with her understated approach to sleek, statement heels. Baron brings her background in graphic design and art direction to her unique and clean-lined silhouettes, like the 'Narcissus' sandals. The pair is balanced on the signature 'Phantom' heel, a mirrored geometric design that will catch the light with every step.
