Emerging Fervour

Seeing as we’re planning on seeing almost everything LFW has to offer for A/W 2010, we’re on a military schedule. I’m keeping my mouth shut on the details until I write about it BUT what I will say is that we’ve been given some fantastic catwalks to cover at Somerset House and Vauxhall Fashion Scout, which is so exciting and incredible – seriously…we’re so grateful, thank you!

On our lists of things to do, there are the exhibitors at Somerset House (check tomorrow’s feature on this) and the ON|OFF exhibition at Victoria House. I’ve picked out my top designers exhibiting at ON|OFF – but I’ll probably be lured in by a few others when I’m there.

Here are my top 5:

Derek Lawlor ∨

Established: 2009

Bryce Aime ∨

Established: 2006

Eelko Moorer ∨

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?
