Wonderfully made.

Today I found out about the shoe designer Hellen Furber. She has recently graduated from the London College of Fashion and her Euphemia collection proposes a unique modular construction process which allows the parts to be separated post consumption(for recycling/biodegrading). She used Organic Leather for the uppers and Bioresin for the sole units.
The project was sponsored by Y-3 adidas, Studio Van der Graaf & Natureally organic leather.

Long hiatus.

After a very long hiatus, I think it's about time to showcase all the beautiful shoes I've been seing, even if they're not of my own making.
So, here's something that might make the rainy Monday's blues bearable.


Christian Dior Spring 2011


Manolo Blahnik Clausado d'Orsay


Christian Dior


René Caovillas


Sergio Rossi

Salvatore Ferragamo Pink Cage heels

Apart from inventing the cage heel, Salvatore Ferragamo also managed to inspire me into adding pink to my shoe-drobe.

Nautical Sandals from Stella McCartney

I love nautical themed clothes, shoes, basically anything.
Usually it comes in the form of stripes and that can get a bit boring after some time.
That's what makes this sandals so appealing to me. You can scape the stripes and still have the nautical vibe.

Fendista Platform Pumps

I don't like all those Fendi accessories with the brand logo all over them.
But put one single logo in what would otherwise be just another pump and BAM! Every Fendi lover fashionista's dream pump comes true.
I suppose they didn't have to think too hard to come up with the name then.

Dsquared "Backbone" shoes

Dsquared's A/W 2010 collection is full of shoes with "backbone" heels. Knee high boots, mary janes, ankle boots, peep toes. You name it, they made it.
I have to admit that mixed feelings emerge when I see them.
On one hand, I don't think I would wear them unless I were a crime-fighter super hero, with a tight leather catsuit, blue neon hair and super powers(the ability to do something to bones, perhaps). No super powers, no catsuit, not wearing the shoes.
But on the other hand, one has to admire the designer's ability to put his idea into practice. And it did turn out pretty great.

Court Jester shoes

I can't seem to get away from red or black. But with something like this, why would I want to?
I better speed up my game and start making some shoes, pronto!
