Inspired by the 1990 French film, ‘La Femme Nikita’ by Luc Besson, our latest collection, 'La Femme', is the embodiment of the femininity and tenacious spirit of the film’s heroine, Nikita.

The film portrays Nikita’s transformational journey from a degenerate drug addict into a femme fatale assassin. Following her violent seizure, Nakita is forced to make a tough choice - either become a secret assassin for the Government or suffer a meaningless death at the hands of her captor.

On her journey to becoming a lethal killer, Nakita endured intense mental and physical training, however, it was during the darkest of those days that she discovers her real identity, who she truly is as a young woman.

"There are two things that are infinite: femininity and means to take advantage of it" - La Femme Nikita (1990)

Nikita is bold and daring, but she is also profoundly vulnerable and sensitive. It is from somewhere deep within, a part of herself previously hidden by a life of hardship and addiction, that Nakita discovers her most powerful weapon, her femininity.

Our new season, 'La Femme', is a contemporary, à la mode collection that epitomises Nikita's inspirational spirit. Every design in the collection radiates confidence and sex appeal, and is meticulously handmade using the finest materials and craftsmanship. Imagine yourself feeling powerful, confident, and irresistibly beautiful while wearing luxurious shoes that are so comfortable you can wear them all day long.
