Boot Camp

No question about it, Massimiliano Giornetti gave us one of the most desirable collections of the spring season. Holding the reins of the Salvatore Ferragamo label since 2010, he has mastered the art of giving women what they want. The designer furthered his cause this season with a series that exuded innovative luxury down to the accessories—read: today’s over-the-knee Gladiator Boots.

Ready to put a traffic-stopping spin on your more practical wear, these fashion kicks stand tall in tan leather, gold grommets and, the pièce de résistance, a fully laced-up back. Talking about transitioning, they are a boot to wear from spring to summer—just add a body-con mini!—though the Ferragamo show offered plenty of other warm-weather-appropriate options too. Shop the Italian label’s trunkshow now to raise the stakes on your new-season wardrobe.
