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.

Soulland Shoe Sandals

This shoe sandal business has become very common in womens footwear, but I think it is better applied to mens.

Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte s/s 11

via smudgetikka, fakingfashion, style.com, pagodared, shoerazzi & harpersbazaar

Nicholas Kirkwood and Rodarte don't usually strike this much of a chord with me but I really liked this whole collection. Very structured, eclectic and exotic, it had a bit of a Dries van Noten crossed with Alexander McQueen vibe to it. I want a blue and white Chinese porcelain vase.
