Nostalgia_Mens Designs
Some of my first mens footwear designs and trend boards. Having a bit of nostalgia going through old files. These were designed almost 10 years ago and are relevant to today’s trends. Fashion, like history, always repeats itself. Thanks for taking a peek!

Link to BTS shoot for new blog. Shot by my dear friend in my lovely lil loft. I have fun playing dress even if it looks like I don’t.
Trompe L’oeil!
Incorporating tactile illusions in footwear designs is trending in a major way for F/W 14 with this Trompe L’oeil twist. The designs merge leggings and socks into the upper design itself, creating the appearance of separate pieces. I really love this design element because it brings out a playful, inner child vibe.
I like to piece together my blue suede shoe design with taupe fishnet or ruffle polka dot socks when playing with this trend.
I like piecing together this look with a floral print romper and coral accessories.
Thanks for taking a peek <3
More Metallics!
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.
MONOCHROME
Loving this trend of monochrome combinations of jet black and stark white which creates a very chic, edgy, yet sophisticated vibe.
Below is a design I created a few years back that is in the same vein as trending products today. I love how fashion always recycles itself with a slight reinvention. It’s all just a matter of timing really.
Incorporating these looks into everyday style. A special thanks to my amazing friends who shot this and who also love to play dress up as much as I do 🙂 You know who you are! Xx
