Yves Saint Laurent 2000s leopard print heels, crafted in pony hair with an all-over irregular leopard pattern in black against an ivory base. The classic pump silhouette is given a dramatic shape through a high, slender stiletto heel and rounded toe, while the black leather sole and vivid blue leather lining add unexpected contrast.

A striking example of the bold approach to footwear associated with Yves Saint Laurent during the 2000s, when leopard print was repeatedly used to bring a sense of glamour and provocation to otherwise refined silhouettes. Tom Ford’s tenure at YSL was particularly important in establishing this tension between classic Saint Laurent codes and a more overtly sensual, provocative attitude
