The designers will make you a tempting offer in the spring / summer 2015 season: How about a young Roman as a lover? For Roman strappy or gladiator sandals are announced as in years no longer. Labels such as Valentino, Chloé, Isabel Marant, Erdem, Rodarte, Dsquared, Alexander McQueen or "Untitled", they all rely on high-laced footwear in their new collections.
