“Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.”

The woman who said these words of wisdom is the ultimate style icon, Marilyn Monroe. The 1950s blonde diva wasn’t just famous for her flirty white dress but also for her glam collection of Salvatore Ferragamo heels.

A bit haute, a bit flirty and a whole lot sexy — her Italian designer heels perfectly defined her style sense and personality.

People make assessments about other people in mere seconds. Even before you have said a word, the person standing opposite you has an impression of you - thanks to your appearance.

How you dress matters immensely and shoes make up a huge part of your overall appearance. And whether you're the kinda girl you can't live without her 6-inch Louboutins or the girl who wouldn't trade her ballet flats for the world, here's what your favourite pair of shoes says about you.

Yves Saint Laurent is known for making crazy, over-the-top, statement shoes. Remember these?

And now, with the launch of their new roller skate stilettos, they have upped their own shoe game. Priced at $2,621, these definitely do not fall in the affordable or wearable categories. These babies are works of art.

Even though designer Anthony Vaccarello received mixed reviews for his second collection for YSL, there's one accessory from the collection that is on everyone's mind (and wishlist) - these ultra-glittery boots.

Gucci's latest statement shoe called 'Ilse Sock Sandal' is creating quite the stir on social media. Priced at a whopping $1,190, Gucci describes the sandal that comes with a removable latex sock as,"a playful approach to an ankle boot gives into the context of the collection in contrast colours. This style can be worn as an ankle boot or the latex sock can be removed and the sandal can be worn alone." Umm, okay.

The shoes were first introduced as a part of Gucci's Spring/Summer 2017 collection.

Italian luxury shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti and world-renowned superstar Jennifer Lopez are joining creative forces in an exclusive, new capsule footwear and accessories collection.

Called Giuseppe for Jennifer Lopez (#GiuseppexJennifer), the special series is slated to launch in January and will be available in the U.S. at Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and in Giuseppe Zanotti Design stores, on giuseppezanottidesign.com as well as in selected retailers around the world.
