Experience the "Architecture of the Afternoon." Transitioning from a midday gallery visit in Paris to an al fresco terrace in Saint-Tropez as the sun dips, the Dway Platform Slide is a masterclass in disciplined leisure. Part of the Fall 2026 Collection, it elevates the simple slide into a piece of architectural footwear offering the statuesque presence of a couture heel with the weightless, breathable soul of a Mediterranean classic.
The Upper: Meticulously crafted from deep black grained calfskin, providing a rich, tactile depth. The strap is signed with a tonal CD Paris signature, offering a discreet, textured approach to branding that aligns with the season's pivot toward understated logomania.
The Foundation: Grounded by a substantial 8-cm (3-inch) cork wedge. This material choice ensures a bold, sculptural stance that remains exceptionally lightweight for all-day wear.
Interior & Comfort: Designed with a padded insole to provide superior cushioning, ensuring that the height does not compromise the "effortless" nature of the silhouette.
The Hidden Icon: The thin rubber outsole features an engraved star, Christian Dior’s personal lucky symbol a secret heritage detail for the wearer with every step.
Provenance: Expertly constructed in Italy.
Styling The Edit
The Black Grained Dway is the ultimate 'Elevated Essential' for Aylas Edit. For a high-impact city-to-resort look, style the sculptural cork wedge with a flowing silk maxi dress or structured linen co-ords in ivory or tobacco. The substantial platform provides a modern counterweight to softer, tonal textures. To complete the 2026 aesthetic, anchor the look with the Saint Laurent Solferino in Black Suede; the interplay between the grained calfskin and the velvet-finish suede creates a sophisticated, multi-dimensional dialogue.
