In 1957, Gabrielle Chanel created the legendary two-tone slingback shoe. Conceived in beige with a contrasting black toe cap, the novel style creates a uniquely flattering effect, at once shortening the foot and lengthening the leg.

Karl Lagerfeld brought it back on the runway for Fall 2015. The shoe instantly became a staple for street style stars and fashion editors alike for being comfortable enough to wear during the day and elegant enough to wear out at night.

Here, Chanel shares with us a very special video on how these fashion-favorites get made.
