Eternal Blossom: A Feminine Take on the Classic Stiletto Heel

Header: Nazarii Gnypiuk

Eternal Blossom, also known as Fleur Blanche, is a stiletto heel designed by Ninami, more specifically by designer Nina Akimova. The design has received awards in both Women’s Fashion and Artistic Footwear at the GFA Global Footwear Awards, which officially recognised it as both a fashion and an art piece. The shoes are produced by the designer herself in Kyiv, with help and distribution through the Fanatka Obuvi showroom in the city.

The pair of heels is made from genuine leather and has an oversized, handmade flower as the main accent. This floral piece gives the classic pump a character of its own, transmitting the idea of eternal blossoming, which the designer links to femininity and delicacy rather than to visual excess.

Akimova describes the design as her take on the 2025 trend for three-dimensional flowers, having used this theme to redesign a familiar silhouette. The shoes are intended for weddings, evening events, and other glamorous occasions and have appeared in professional photo shoots as well as on FashionTV.
