Larroudé & Altuzarra Team Up to Launch the Ultimate Sexy Slingback Pump

Larroudé and Altuzarra have teamed up to create the ultimate pump.

For their new collaboration, which launched Thursday, the designers created a slingback style in black leather, black patent leather and silver specchio leather, with the shoes produced in Larroudé’s Brazilian factory.

“Joseph’s challenged our team to create a very sexy pump, a new silhouette that we had never done before. The goal was to create something special, that you can’t find anywhere but classic enough that you can wear for years to come,” designer and founder Marina Larroudé told FN. “The outsole of the shoe is black and shiny. It was the first shoe we developed and produced at our factory and we could not be prouder of how it came out.”

The two first met 14 years ago when Larroudé was working at Style.com and Altuzarra was embarking on his fashion journey.

“I’ve been a friend and fan of Joseph’s since his first ever collection debuted. It was just about time to get to work with him in developing something unique. I’m a huge admirer of his work and it’s been a dream to collaborate and marry his expressive design ethos with what Larroudé does best,” she added.

For Altuzarra, creating a silhouette that included both brand’s DNA was key to this collection.

He said, “When looking at the approach for the collaboration, we wanted to create iconic items in your wardrobe that you can wear season after season that felt relevant, sexy and polished. The style of sling-back pump with the Altuzarra buckle detailing, elongated toe and the architectural heel has a bit of both brands DNA imbued in the final product.”

The shoes feature a four-inch heel and retails for $490. The style is available now on Larroude.com, Altuzarra.com and exclusively at ModaOperandi.com.
