Since being the proud owner of the ‘Shoe Design’ book, I’ve opened it many times and love it.

Its aim is to show us a variety of creativity found in footwear design today. Rachel Jones and Aki Choklat, the editors, have certainly managed that with amazing photos of shoes from nearly 50 designers all over the world.

From classics such as Christian Louboutin or Manolo Blahnik

to the quirky creations of Terry de Havilland or Natacha Marro

or to the absolute crazy ones of Eelko Moorer or Marloes Ten Bhömer

the striking images do the designers tribute.

If you’re crazy about shoes, this is the book to get. You can get it through Amazon.

So who is your favourite shoe designer?

Yes you can!!!

As you know a week ago I got all excited about the book signing at the Black Truffle shop for the newly released ‘Shoe Design’ book. Although it was pouring down with rain on the night, the shop was buzzing and packed out!

Rachel Jones and Aki Choclat who wrote it, signed the book and had time to chat to everyone (the book is fab, but I’ll be blogging about that another time). When it was my turn we chatted about Emerging Fervour for a bit, which is when Aki mentioned they also offer shoe making courses. He then led me to the basement to show me their workshop and introduced me to Melissa Needham, founder of footwear independent Black Truffle.

It turns out you can make your own court shoe in 5 days!! Melissa had my full attention and so many questions popped into my head. It wasn’t the right time to go into detail but she kindly agreed that I could chat with her about how Black Truffle is also home to the Prescott & Mackay School of Fashion and Accessory Design.

Make sure to come back or sign up to catch the interview.

If you can’t wait, check out their website, call or drop by the shop:

If you do you have any questions for her, let me know and I’ll pass them on.
