Manolo Blahnik Black Patent Grommet d'Orsay Peep-Toe Pump, 36.5

Black patent cut into a d'Orsay peep-toe, with a wide patent band across the vamp punched through with gold grommets and a single pin. Manolo doing hardware — restrained, but the detail is the whole shoe.

High shine, open arch, a curved heel that tapers to almost nothing. The grommets read faintly utilitarian against all that gloss, which is the joke and the point.
