This design is a documented and published Michel Perry work, credited in Shoes: A Celebration of Pumps, Sandals, Slippers & More by Linda O’Keeffe.  The silhouette reflects Michel Perry’s mid-1990s design language, balancing sensual materiality with precise construction. The rounded almond toe, curved cutout vamp, and slender Mary Jane strap are paired with a high block heel for a refined yet assertive profile.  Of particular note is the sophisticated platform construction: the shoe combines a slim visible external platform with a hidden internal platform built into the insole. Together, the platforms measure approximately 1 inch in total height, allowing for a higher heel pitch while preserving a clean, elegant line. This construction reflects Michel Perry’s interest in innovative structural solutions during the mid-1990s.  Unworn vintage condition. Shoes were never worn and retain original structure. Minor surface marks from long-term storage are present, consistent with age.
