Nicholas Kirkwood....f/w 2011!

Nicholas Kirkwood is famous for his asymmetric platform which he improves with new features every season. He adds pearls, wood, cork, leather ...he used every material for his plateau and this season he also showed a more "soft" version of it that make the shoes quite new. The feathers and the mongolian fur   creates a nice effect that was never obtains on shoes (mongolian fur is more often used for coats). He also created exaggerate wedges and triangular heels, as well as "crooked" ones so the shoes get a new identity, The shoes that he created for the f/w 2011 of Rodarte are influenced by the Mulleavy's collection which took inspiration from Amish communities and Kansas. So we can see classic shoes with new pattern, for Erdem he just uses the print of the brand and put it on the shoes. In the end we can see a lcd shoes which is characteristic for the heel that reminds the "prickle heel" of Roger Vivier he just "moved" the prickle.












Nicholas Kirkwood...summer shoes!

Kirkwood: the name of the best shoes-designer of this period (this is my opinion...at least.). I love him because he purposes every seasons something new but he maintains his style, too. For example we can always find the "asymmetric-platform" which characterized all his shoes and that became a trend of the last seasons and it is going on.
So, when I saw these amazing shoes on LuisaViaRoma website I have to show you these art pieces. All of them are made with karung and leather or suede, the heels are: 3,5 the first and 13 cm the other two. I find interesting the platform that is smaller than the other season, the colors (soft and almost ethereal) and the line that drive the eyes on the shoes. In fact, are just the lines that give an amazing sensation of lightness which everyone, or at least I, love.

Kirkwood's heels... amazing!

I don't translate all the things that I wrote in the italian version but I only tell to you that in these shoes is very important the heel, as it's important in all the Kirkwood's creations with the platform...And I desire to leave you this idea: why all the people speak about Louboutin, Blahnik and the more "experts" about Ferragamo and Rossi and noone thinks about the visonary design of Kirkwood? It could be fault of the mass media and movies (like SATC) or the people doesn't really want to understand the fashion world and know about it?
