Jennifer Chamandi was a banker before she was a shoe designer, and I think you can see that discipline in how focused her brand is. She launched in London in October 2016 with one idea she has never let go of. In French, a stiletto is a talon aiguille, a needle heel. So she made the heel into the eye of a needle, with a strap threading through it. The construction is patented and runs through every shoe she makes.

The boots are where that idea gets practical. The Thierry suede knee-high boot carries the needle detail into a winter outfit, doing the work a coat or bag would normally do. The Carlo 20 ankle boot scales it down to a low heel, which is the version I would actually wear on a weekday.

The pumps are the purest version of the brand. With nothing else going on, the needle heel is all you see. The Lorenzo 105 in patent leather is the evening shoe of the group, glossy and very straight-backed. The Paolo 65 in mesh and suede is softer and lower, the one I would pick for long days.

Chamandi talks about designing for a woman on a mission, and these feel like it. They are shoes for walking into a room with a plan. My only rule is that when the heel is this graphic, the rest of the outfit stays quiet. A black trouser and a white shirt, and let the shoe be the thing everyone remembers.

The sandals take the needle into warmer weather. The Leonardo 65 is the plainest and easiest to repeat all summer, a low heel with the signature still clearly there. The Antonio 130 in crystal-embellished mesh is the opposite, a tall, sparkly occasion shoe. The Nino 105 wedge puts the idea on a sturdier base, useful if stilettos and cobblestones are not friends in your life.

I like seeing how far one detail can stretch across a range without getting boring. Treat the embellished pairs as wedding and dinner shoes, and the plain leather ones as your real-life sandals.

The real question with Jennifer Chamandi is not whether a shoe is striking. It is whether you want that much attention at your feet on an ordinary day. The brand's single idea is clever and beautifully executed, and one pair tells the whole story, so I would not buy across every category just because the heel repeats. The pumps make the cleanest evening choice, the boots are the most wearable, and the low sandals are the easiest to repeat. Whichever you choose, pick a heel height you can actually walk in, because a needle heel only looks this good when you are moving.
