The first fashion show ever hosted at Westminster Abbey was executed by the current golden child of the fashion world:  Alessandro Michele. Since taking over as creative director of Gucci in 2014, Michele has made a name for himself by taking risks. This season has been no exception. Cruise 2017 exemplified Michele's interpretation of what it means to be British in both past and present, despite being a native Italian himself. Watch as Tim Blanks, Business of Fashion's Editor at Large, inquires about Gucci's direction for this collection and where Alessandro Michele plans to take things next.

Fashion is one of those rare things that allows you to say everything without speaking a single word. Designer shoes are just a form of this unspoken sartorial communication, but it’s one so subtle that only other sneakerheads are likely to pick up on it. And it’s this understated luxury that makes tennis shoes so appealing—at least to us. Over the years with the release of exclusive collaborations, limited-edition lines and one-off collections that sell out in mere minutes, it’s easy to see how collectors can drop thousands of dollars on sneakers. But there are plenty of designer kicks that cost just as much, if not more, then pre-owned, special-edition Jordans. The only difference is you don’t have to spend months on resale sites trying to hunt down your preferred size, color and brand. Here are the most expensive kicks you can still own. None of these bad boys have sold out—yet.
