Supermodels including Candice Swanepoel, Lily Aldridge, Anok Yai, Joan Smalls, Yumi Nu, Adriana Lima, and Alex Consani commanded the runway in bespoke Caovilla creations — from sculptural thigh-high boots and shimmering crystal-encrusted mules to ethereal 105 mm sandals that seemed to float above the glitter-strewn floor.
