Inspired by Björk's video for 'All Is Full Of Love' by Chris Cunningham (one of my favorite clips EVER) this amazing shoe won the L.P Young designers Award.

Stella McCartney Shaped Topline Pumps

I have been interested in these shapes in footwear for quite a while now, but don't see too many examples of them. I always try to find as many variations of something as possible to get a good idea of what does and doesn't work.

Love wool sneakers. Obsessed with this texture.

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

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.

Christmas 10

Someone must pay for this shit. Merry Christmas.

Mr. Hare Classics

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

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.

The leather is cut into nice simple shapes around the ankle of these Michael Kors sandals.

Alexander Wang resort 11 Shoes

via net-a-porter

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

via givenchy.com

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.
