Bloggers as Shoe Designers

London based shoe company Six, makers of shoes for Opening Ceremony bSTORE and Ksubi, recently teamed up with 6 of their favorite bloggers for a project called SIXby6bloggers. They asked said bloggers to design their dream shoe that would go into very limited production (20 pair each). Here's who they picked and what they dreamed up...

StyleBubble

FaceHunter

 Caroline's Mode

The Cherry Blossom Girl

Style Salvage

The Man Repeller

And the launch party in Paris...

What do you think? Although I would never wear them, I have to give Susie Bubble credit for her design. They are totally her and totally unique!
  The Cherry Blossom Girl's shoe is also very her. Pretty and feminine and something I could see on a commercial level.
  Caroline's shoe is obviously her nod to the uber coveted Chloe studded ankle boot from 2008. They still go for thousands on ebay! Her original sketch had the buckles on them, so I'm glad she decided against a direct knockoff for a project like this.
  I like the Man Repeller's booties. Simple, clean with some fun studs to make them edgier.
If you're interested in purchasing any of these shoes you can find them exclusively on SixLondon and Farfetch.com

It's so interesting to see non shoe designers designing shoes. I admit that I like hearing them say things like "It's not as easy as it looks." And that's just one shoe! Imagine a whole collection or two. ;)

I am currently stressing over the design process myself. I have a fast approaching deadline for both my Bebe and Cece L'amour collections and living at my parents house is less than inspiring, let me tell you.
Luckily I'm moving NEXT WEEK (!!!!) and am so excited! I can't wait to get back to outfit posts and to be in my own space again. Hope you're all having a nice weekend.

God Save My Souls Trailer

I can't wait to check this out!

“God Save My Shoes” is the first documentary film to explore the intimate relationship women have with their shoes.
To understand how shoes have come to hold such a pivotal place in pop culture, sexuality and women’s lives, God Save my Shoes turned to many of those who play a role in the global shoe phenomenon: Extreme shoe lovers, fashion historians and editors, psychologists, sex experts, shoe fetishists, and star designers Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik, Walter Steiger, Pierre Hardy, Bruno Frisoni, and Robert Clergerie, along with celebrities such as Fergie, Kelly Rowland and Dita Von Teese.



HOW did they make this film without me?? ;)

Impatiently Waiting for Miu Miu

EVERY DAY I've been checking Vogue.com to see if the latest Miu Miu runway collection had been posted yet. Miu Miu is my current favorite as far as shoes go and I haven't been disappointed... until... today.

OH WHY MIUCCIA!? WHY??

 Not so bad you say? It gets worse.

 ????

I'm sorry and I HATE saying negative things about a designer I respect SO much and look up to immensely but I just don't have any positives here. I don't like the shape, the colors, the details.... I'm so confused!

These ones are the worst! Putty/tan/beige??? A MULE??? Oh say it isn't so!

Nobody asked you Sven.

I need a moment. Am I a shithead for talking smack on my shoe idol?? I need some Milano cookies and a glass of milk to dunk them.

xox,

Sunday Funday!

Here are some random funny shots. Never take fashion too seriously... It's clear these people don't.

Crazy Toes McGee strikes again at Pucci!

I like to imagine that he's the rebel toe. "I refuse to conform, man. I won't be stuck within these confines!"

So tuff.

Margiela showcasing the garment bag trend. (notice the sweaty pits)

Rick Owens paying tribute to the Sydney Opera House OR an RV awning?

Issey Miyake likes the diaper trend too. He just likes it on your head.

I love Jeremy Scott's ability to have fun with fashion!

Sometimes it results in pure magic. These shoes are SO cute and fun :) 

Adorbs.

Hope you're having a good weekend!
