Maison Martin Margiela Cutout Wedge Ankle Boot


Ha ha. Very cute. References the clog trend without being just another bloody clog.

Yves Saint Laurent s/s 03

This was a great collection from the Tom Ford days of YSL. Mermaid dresses and velvet. These shoes were 2 of 3 pairs spotted on Anna Dello Russo on the one day. Awesome.

Some of the more traditional styles by Mr. Hare that are designed so beautifully and show why his shoes have become so desirable.

The Miller
The Huxley
An image of some Mr. Hare lasts (or at least I think they are - I've had this image saved on my computer for a while.)

Shoes Sans Arch Support






Some very interesting and often ugly shoes that are missing arch support. I can't imagine what they must feel like to walk in.

Alexander Wang resort 11 Shoes





Alexander Wang's resort 11 featured a nice trim on some styles which gave a cool variation on the 'Freja' boot (top.) I'm still not that keen on open toed boots but the simplicity of the one in the middle is very nice, along with the zip that extends all the way down the flat back of the wedge.

Givenchy s/s 11 Men's Shoes

This is a great shoe collection. Sometimes over-the-top but in a very considered way. The combination of materials are beautiful and I think this may be the only example I've seen of leather applique on shoes I can appreciate.

Alexander Wang's shoes are always interesting, modern & strong. I must also post the resort 11 shoes.
