Nicholas Kirkwood

Nicholas Kirkwood is touted as the next Christian Louboutin in the shoe game. I think his designs are a little radical for your basic-pump-and-peep-toe crowd, but the excess is so satisfying.

 

His designs invoke thoughts of sculpture, Cubism, and flying insects. I’m in love with the signature chipped-block platform. Joining the adoring chorus, I love Kirkwood shoes.

Nod to Ms. Miller’s article :)

It takes brains, a sense of humor and a lot of guts to wear Kirkwoods. J’adore.

OH. MY. LOVE.

Western metal buckles, S&M (bless this trend),straps to heaven n’ pleasure, beautiful linear design,and color as black as my soul. 

These are the one-ups from the Givenchy basketweave wedges that everyone loves:

I love where shoe design is going…hopefully higher and stranger. Give me more lattice!

    I’m dying to know how much those booties are going to cost. We may have to be twinsies.
