Though there’s only one more day left of the spring/summer 2017 fashion shows, the sartorial set still has much to be excited about. In collaboration with Net-a-porter, Leandra Medine, founder of the online site Man Repeller, will launch her first shoe collection.

The eponymous 10-piece collection, dubbed MR by Man Repeller, is indicative of Medine’s own personal style and features velvet platforms, metallic loafers and gold boots. Each style features its own name, from The I’m Here and Party boot to The LOL If you Think I’m Walking sandal.

With the holiday season less than three months away, these fun pieces, with their bright colours and embellished detailing, will perfectly round off any party outfit.

MR by Man Repeller will officially launch on Net-a-porter on October 27. Prices will start from Dh1,120.
