The addition of brown added warmth to yet another perfect collection of footwear by Kris Van Assche.

Dries Van Noten Denim Derby

These are from the s/s 11 season. Pretty crazy but a novel use of denim.

Belle by Sigerson Morrison Mule

That is a damn fine heel. Also nice that the sole ends right where the suede starts.

I've been wanting to post about these for a while. The clashing patterns and textures on the Dries Van Noten s/s 11 footwear are insane. The florals in the 'light' inspired collection were very beautiful and worked especially well on those almost wedge heels.

Some nice looks at the latest shoes to be shown by Proenza Schouler. Many more detailed pictures of the amazingly textured and patterned collection at Jak & Jil.

Proenza Schouler continue their bold aesthetic for s/s 11, this time incorporating some finer touches in the form of cutout patterns and pointed heels.

LCF MA graduate Michelle Quick's work features the wonderfully unexpected use of horn. In an interview with Style Salvage Quick says:
"I've always been fascinated with horn objects, I love seeing old horn combs and caviar spoons in museums. The colours are so varied and you can polish it to such a high shine. It's a material that is present in all bespoke shoe houses (shoe horns, brushes, etc) but is rarely used on the shoes themselves. I was interested in how it could be used to adorn shoes in a new way."
I particularly like the monk-straps (top) as I think they use the material to it's best effect. See more of the process behind these creations at Quick's BLOG.
