If Hugh Jackman is the Sexiest Man Alive, his “Australia” co-stars shoes are quite possibly the Sexiest of All Time…

November 20th, 2008

Coincidently (wink! wink!) recently named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive HUGH JACKMAN co-stars with silver screen siren Nicole Kidman in the epic period film Australia.
Baz Luhrmann’s film Australia opened this week, and making shoes news is the collaboration between the films Oscar winning costume designer Catherine Martin and “Shoemaker to the Stars” Salvatore Ferragamo resulting in an exceptional collection of “beautiful, original shoes.”

In the film, Ms. Kidman plays “Lady Sarah Ashley,” a 1940s aristocrat who embarks upon an epic journey. More than 2,000 costumes were created for the film. And according to Philstar.com, “Martin approached Ferragamo to collaborate on the design of Lady Sarah’s shoes. As Martin says, “When you think of the 1930s one of the first names of shoes that comes to mind is Ferragamo. Ferragamo is synonymous with famous persons from the past and has a long association of making shoes for films and of revolutionizing certain styling and manufacturing techniques.”
“One of the quintessential Ferragamo traits is their confidence to mix often exotic materials with more luxurious fabrics; the showcasing of this trait and use of materials such as shagreen is a wonderful complement to the exoticism of Northern Australia during this period.”

The glamorous evening sandal, in ruched deep red velvet with stingray accents, is offered for sale as a limited-edition style at Ferragamo stores NOW. And once the style is sold out, the shoe will return to the company’s archives at the Salvatore Ferragamo museum at Palazzo Spini in Florence, Italy.

i remember my first Van’s circa 1980-something. they were the classic checker-board variety that EVERYBODY else had too! got word from a bird about this fun, limited-edition, accessories collaboration “Places in the Sky” between harkrider fine arts and british painter Anthony John Gray. so they’re not quite ready yet… but they will be!!!

gray, best known for his his large geometric installation works created in oils, alkyds, and acrylics on canvas and panels, describes his work as spritual logic. we’re showing you the shoes, but they’re planning to add handbags and scarves soon.

harkrider fine arts director, Isobella Jade, says of the accessories, “being a lover of shoes and accessories, the moment I saw tony’s oil paintings I knew there was a commercial element I wanted to explore. I love that tony’s geometric surrealism translates into apparel so well. the architectural balance of colors and patterns and the symbolic meaning behind his work creates a unique bridge between the arts and fashion worlds.”
