The French luxe house fronted by Albers Elbaz gives a preview of its autumn winter 2010 season, featuring these exquisite moccasin-trainer-ankle boots. Offered in supersoft velvet calfskin in either taupe or black, the brand's signature grosgrain ribbon lacing is used to bold effect on the toe whipstitching and closure. The composite sole is high-polished in the midfoot area, matte at the toe and heel, to remind us that these are not mere sportshoes, after all.
