Shoes Shoes and MORE SHOES....

For those of you who don’t know me I feel sorry for you because this blog is going to be filled with the things I love most , some of which will be fashion a lot of clothing and colour styles as seen previously and some of it will be about shoes… ok that was a lie A LOT of it will be about shoes. I am a shoe person if nothing else fits your shoes (and handbags but that’s for another day) will always be there for you and for those of you who state you only have one pair of feet how many shoes can you wear? Well let me tell you! There are 365 days of the year and guess what I intend to have a shoe for every single day TIMES TWO because there is daytime foot wear and night time foot wear. So until I reach um…. 730 pairs of shoes I think I am well within my rights to not only keep on shopping but admiring and blogging about those wonderful things that go on my feet that I am OH so in love with.. can I get an AMEN!

Now onto the shoes in this issue of my blog (for I know there will be many) I will be talking about Camilla Skovgaard, FINSK and Gianmarco Lorenzi today. Now I know most of you are wondering why I’m not blogging about ohh Manolo Blahnik or say Jimmy Choo but what would be the point of that? Thanks to sex and the city we all know who they are so lets expand our minds and talk about someone else. Here is some back ground on the designers.

Camilla Skovgaard Denmark born shoe designer with a BA and MA in shoe designs and product development got her big break while doing her masters to design footwear for a Sheikh’s wife and daughters in Dubai, after 7 years on Dubai Skovgaard returned to England where her line was eventually picked up by US Saks 5th Ave. Skovgaard’s empasise on form and style verses decoration is what sets her shoes apart from the average. Ever since then she has been designing and making her name in the shoe industry and is a favorite among stars such as Kim Kardashian and Kimora- Lee Simmons.

FINSK is a brand created by Julia Lundsten in 2004. Lundsten who is Finish born situated in London has been dubbed as a “designer with a strong vision and unique, directional style.” Lundsten graduated from London's Royal College of Art in 2003 and won the prestigious Manolo Blahnik Award two years running. One can say that design is in her blood as her father is an architect and her mother and Interior Designer. Lundsten’s shoes have a unique aesthetic flare and are almost sculpture by nature and form. Her signature look has always been the wooden wedge heel which is has been perfected over the years Lundsten takes her inspiration from different ranges of design from not only architecture but also chairs “Lundsten views the heel and sole as the chair legs, with the upper, the seat.”

Gianmarco Lorenzi hails from a long background of shoemakers, his family owned a specialist children’s shoe factory. Gianni Renzi the man behind the brand drew his first shoes designs at age five and with the help of his brothers Marco and Renzo he helped gear the family’s factory design from children’s foot wear to high fashion innovated women’s shoes in the 70’s. Renzi’s high quality shoe fashion has be decribed as “the cutting edge of perfection finding beauty and glamour, art and seduction in Gianmarco Lorenzi styles”. The shoes are made with high quality standards and the use of exquisite materials such as natural gemstones, 24-carat gold, silver and titanium that set Lorenzi styles apart from any other making them top class in their field.
