Ebony and Ivory

It looks like my favorite dynamic duo is making a comeback.

From black and white striped lace-ups at Marc by Marc (above left) to architectural shapes at Proenza (above right), this classic color combination is popping up in plenty of spring styles for any type of girl. For those, like myself, who prefer a sky-high heel, Nicholas Kirkwood’s leather and wire strapped stiletto for Rodarte (below) is a futuristic take on the trend.
