More on: Celebrity trends Kim Kardashian and Julia Fox's pantashoes are mystifying Tan France predicts these fashion trends will take off in 2022 Stars like Heidi Klum and Ciara can't resist this sexy dress lace-up All the fuss: Demi Lovato, Saweetie and Iris Law trend skinheads
Sharp look!
In an industry as trend-focused as fashion, it's rare for a shoe to last multiple seasons, let alone a decade.
But this month marks the 10th anniversary of Casadei's "Blade" heel, a favorite of celebrities ranging from queens of pop like Madonna and Taylor Swift to A-list actresses like Angelina Jolie and Zendaya.
And these aren't your standard stilettos; True to its name, the "Blade" shoe is set on a razor-sharp, thin steel spike. In a 2014 interview with The Independent, creative director Cesare Casadei called the invention his "obsession," adding that it took more than five months to perfect the cutting-edge design.
And it wasn't long before the stars became obsessed too; Kim Kardashian called the hot pink pair of hers "perfect" in 2012, while Victoria Beckham has been photographed wearing them in at least half a dozen different colors.
