Loving this trend I’m seeing of metallics in different materials, components and finishes! I love combining lucite heel pieces with classic solid, primary color uppers in a shoe design, and topping that look with trending pop colors and flashy materials, like sequins and silk in wardrobe.
Below are a couple of my designs in White and Black leather with a mirror metallic lining that ties in with the chrome finish on the heel piece. Topped with a back bow with hidden elastic goring for added comfort.
Color forecasting for Fall/ Winter 2015. The world of fashion is at least always one year ahead of the present. Keeps it interesting. Enjoy! Xx
Images and trends from the Lineapelle show in Italy. The show consists of over 1000 exhibitors from over 43 countries showcasing the latest leathers, materials, accessories, and components. Juxaposed designs combining metal with wooden elements creating an organic, geometric, yet contrasting vibe was one of the main trends that grabbed my attention. Hope you enjoy!
Below are some images from WSA @ MAGIC in Vegas. It was really fucking hot there.
Heightened candy colors, opaque cartoon-like finishes and playful glitter bring contemporary whimsy to beauty and fashion.

-Layered straps belt the foot with additional layers jutting down, over and across the heel and ankle
-Floral applications flourish at the rear of the heel for additional excess, over the top effect.
I just got back from attending MAGIC, Platform, Pool, and Project trade shows in Las Vegas!!
