Once Again, Let's Give It Up for Nicholas

Nicholas Kirkwood has created some amazing shoes lately. I browsed his website today, www.nicholaskirkwood.com, only to find some of the most beautiful heels I have ever seen. I think I have found my new favorite shoe designer. The collections include his collaborations with Rodarte, Erdem, and Peter Pilotto.

Here are a few of my favorites from Nicholas Kirkwood's S/S 2011 line. It was very difficult to choose only a few to show.

A nude rosette heel with a killer twist is always in season, in my opinion.

Florals are a major trend for S/S 2011, and this shoe captures a great interpretation of the trend.

One of my favorite collections that walked the runway last fall was Rodarte's S/S 2011 collection. When I came across the shoes that Kirkwood designed to go with this collection, I was in awe. They are simply magnificent. The collection was inspired by the redwood oaks of California and Chinese porcelain. It is also clearly represented throughout the shoe collection.

Another collection that I recently came across was the collaboration with Peter Pilotto. When I saw the two shoes Kirkwood designed, I immedietely recognized one of the shoes. During Paris Fashion Week, a woman had worn this pair of shoes with a pair of tie-dyed socks. This inspired me to wear a vintage pair of black patent-leather YSL heels with an original pair of hand-tie-dyed socks to an event at Neiman Marcus tonight. I am sure I will be the chicest woman in the room.

Charlotte Olympia's Web

Charlotte Dellal, who goes by the surname of Charlotte Olympia, is an up and coming shoe designer based out of London. There was a recent article featuring Mrs. Dellal in Vogue along with several articles on style.com. One article on style.com explains how the new trademark for Charlotte Olympia is a spider's web, a pun on the book "Charlotte's Web." A flagship store is currently open in London.

Here is an image of some of her shoes in the Charlotte Olympia flagship store.

These platforms have very high heels, but are nonetheless remarkable.

And here is a picture of the eccentrically fabulous Charlotte Dellal herself.
