Espadrilles..The Summer Essential

Princess Grace Kelly in Espadrilles

Way before  Christian Louboutin became known  for his toe tipping triple-stack heel, his borderline slutty but acceptable over-the-knee hook her boot and his more recent  hip-hot creation the spikey sneaker designed by Swizz Beats, Louboutin was widly popular for his incredibly sexy super- high yet fabulously feminine espadrilles. Louboutin took the classic flat to new heights..literally. What began  as  basic comfortable affordable and extremely durable  summer shoe for farmers and peasants had eventully become the summer staple for the jet-set crowd of France’s uber-chic and ultra-trendy beachfront resort town, St Tropez.
