Gucci 1997 by Tom Ford Swarovski Crystal Beaded Ankle Strap Heels

Gucci released these ankle strap heels in 1997, midway through Tom Ford's run as creative director, a position he held from 1994 to 2004. The uppers carry Swarovski crystal beading above a slim ankle strap, in line with the beaded evening heels that appeared across the house's 1997 collections. Ford paired that eveningwear with the sleek tailoring that drove Gucci's late 1990s revival.
