Second is Sparkling Broom, designed by Joyce Fung in Hong Kong, which reimagines the household tool in a playful manner. The unique heel is covered by a drape of layered crystal chains, resembling a glammed-up version of a broom, while adding dramatic shine and swishing with every step.

Celebrating the beauty of nature, Wisteria, designed by Nathan Scalzo in France, takes inspiration from his childhood memories of watching wisteria grow during Spring. The pumps are crafted from rich green satin, and adorned with purple embroidery resembling the flower.
