A delicate gold stem is the perfect counterpoint to the thick, bondagelike straps on this Nicholas Kirkwood heel, which even seems comfortable despite its pitch. Offset the rough and tumble air with streamlined textures and proportions, like a long white midi-skirt, or eyelash lace, for a more delicate twist.
