Sneakers with pizazz…

May 7th, 2008

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.”

with only 50 pairs of each style being created they’ll be available in exclusive boutiques, and will retail for $500 each. check out their site under “retail” for details. and stay tuned for the second set of styles.

most of your fancy footwear comes with their very own softish shoe bag so you can tote them safely along your merry way. if you’re brand loyal (ie. shoes inside MUST match label on outside of shoe bag) we suggest moving on to another blog.

but if you’re up for some girlie fun, these cutesy clear-windowed bags with über soft sides will protect your shoes in lovely lady-style. for $23 you get 5 bags and can choose from a few styles. kind of the perfect gift for that diva who has everything else, right? check out 6pm.com.

“hello (new shoe) lover…”

May 14th, 2008

we sole sisters know what sex and the city did for manolo and choo and louboutin. well, for shoes in general ~ “hello lover” ring a bell? besides it didn’t hurt that sarah jessica parker’s legs are utterly amazing! and of course thanks in no small part to the talents and perseverance of a one miss patricia field.

it is little wonder then that designers met the challenge of tight movie deadlines or seemingly unrealistic wardrobe requests for the opportunity to be featured in sex and the city the movie. it’s the big screen, after all, and we’re all eager to see what miss bradshaw (as channeled thru- fields’ vision) will be donning. we want close-ups people!

case in point, brilliant footwear designer Eileen Shields may be a shoo-in. her silver peep-toe “bette” was requested one evening as they were closing up offices. field’s assistant said they needed the shoe for Carrie for a scene shooting THE VERY NEXT DAY! (you know when you know, right?)… it had to be fedexed for first AM delivery. the drama came when SJP’s size was not in stock in NY so they contacted Lee Lee’s in San Antonio, TX and had them ship the shoes. they say folks in texas is reeeaalllll nice—the store obliged, the shoes shipped and as far as we know carrie got her “bettes.” we’ll see may 30th won’t we?

Omelle shoes are ähm´ost here

May 15th, 2008

we brought you a teensy sneak peek at omelle (pronounced ähm’ elle) in a november posting. and in creative director and co-founder Nicole LaFave’s shuzsociety shoe box she says of her designs, “i admire all of the established industry designers out there… there’s nothing like the process of having an idea or inspiration and taking it through the entire design process. it’s a very personal and emotional experience for me.”

LaFave says of their first collection, “overall, we are pushing the boundaries in footwear design to give our customers something they have been missing out on—luxury products with personality, a brand with a sense of humor mixed with classic sophistication and modern femininity, and ownership with business-minded professionalism.

she and co-designer cherise angelle are ready, and this july will debut their new new luxury omelle line at the collections at WSA show in las vegas. what to expect? a new way of looking at footwear which combines a Styling & Product Placement background (Cherise) with a Graphic Design & Fine Arts background (Nicole) and the outcome is smart and a must-have footwear. we’ll have you updated before their shoes can hit the shelves.

Sex and the city ~ one day to catch up…

May 28th, 2008

with one day, count it O-N-E day until sex and the city - the movie opens in theaters… you may not have time to run your last-minute marathon of the six seasons of tv shows… last week my sis and i went through my collection of dvd’s and watched a sprinkling of our favorite episodes, much to my father’s chagrin. “bells of the ball, dad! come watch it with us!” he grumbled and stayed right until miranda and steve found themselves looking at prosthetic you know what’s. “oops, i dropped the ball,” miranda squirms as she squeezes too tight. that’s good tv dad. he will never find its charms.

amazon sent me a sex and the city email today with an interview of candace bushnell. she chats about lipstick jungle, but eventually gets us to the good stuff. listen here. she’s got something to say about her own “mr. big.” you’ll prolly see the movie, then if you don’t already have them… want to get the whole collection for keepers.

visit our very own amazon store with many shoe-related books and such. there’s books on fashion, photography, models, sex and the city and of course, SHOES. am i missing anything?
