Vanity. Desire. Obsession.

Aside from my undying love for the sheer chiffon and tulle romance of the Valentino S/S RTW and Couture collections one of my other major obsessions was the hard-edged metal detailing of Gucci. The contorted posture of the models in the advertising campaigns, alongside the unusual upward tilt of the camera angle, reinforces the bionic, futuristic and yet still sexy appeal of the clothes and accessories.

I love the metal skeletal detailing on the bodice of the dress but what I really love are the shoes. Shockingly high, these heels are dramatic and subversive, not for the girly or faint hearted, and certainly not for those fashion lovers who are following the magazines' dictates to embrace lower heels or flats. The extreme height and futuristic detailing of these shoes make them dramatic and exceptionally sexy.

Many celebrities have already begun to embrace Gucci sandals on the red carpet proving just how fashion forward and, oddly, how versatile these sandals are.

Leigh Lezark, one of my favourite models (and  DJs), teams a pair of grey Gucci 'Sigrid' heels with her traditional style of all black. The harness detail of the shoes compliments the metallic sculptural neck piece and adds interest and edge to an otherwise streamlined and 'safe' outfit. As always her jet black bob is razor sharp and glossy.

Rumer Willis pairs her black 'Sigrid' heels with a Jill Stuart asymmetric dress. Aside from her desperate need of a little colour this is a flattering and stylish look for Rumer. I like that her black painted toenails are a continuous part of the gothic, hard edged look. A brighter colour would look out of place.

Jennifer Lopez returns, post-baby, to the fashion scene looking positively glowing! This look really surprised me because I couldn't imagine the 'Sigrid' heels working with a soft fabric but the cowl neck rose grey of this dress with contrasting grey tie belt looks fabulous. I think Jen's beautiful olive skin really makes this look, anyone with a paler skin-tone would look washed out.

Gemma Arterton has received a lot of criticism from the British press about her looks and her acting abilities but I think that she silences all critics in this strong, confident but edgy look. The fitted dress with geometric net inserts is also Gucci Spring 2010 and the sandals are the 'Daryl' platforms-not as dramatic or futuristic as the 'Sigrid' style but still just as dark and seductive. The perfect black cage sandals.
