“The late ’80s were a big trend this season, which J.W. Anderson championed at Loewe, right down to these mules. You don’t expect to see flashy mirrored sequins on such low heels.”

“I discovered this new label Kalda through a photographer we work with, Silja Magg. Designer Katrin Alda is modernizing patchwork with her cool Icelandic fishskin creations.”
“Marco de Vincenzo consistently impresses me with his was with outlandish surface treatments that are still wearable, like these rococo ruffled mules and bowed boots.”
“This Paco Rabanne number may very well be the update to the Pierre Hardy-designed Balenciaga moto boot of yesterseason. The square toe and untailored kiltie detail are fresh.”
“Another new-to-me designer discovery this season, Sies Marjan. Designer Sander Lak’s Louis-esque heels are hard to miss, or resist, in bonbon pink.”
“Perhaps it was the Prada effect, but we’re feeling for wedge boots once more. This take from new label Alchemia di Ballin has a Victorian macabre about it that reminds me of the costumes on “Penny Dreadful.”
“These Ivy Kirzner shearling boots with western buckling are very “The Revenant.” I couldn’t stomach that film but would certainly sport these in a winter tundra.”
“When George Esquivel stopped by the offices, I zeroed in on thess handpainted gold combat boots. The asymetircal lacing also adds to their off-kilter elan.”
“Denim label Simon Miller debuted shoes this season, which of course have indigo lining.”
“Simone Rocha destroys and rebuilds ladylike tropes, such as these tweedy and crystal buckled flats.”
“Out of all the fantastical creations Manolo Blahnik dreamed up this season, the wingtip Chelsea boot shouldn’t have stood out as much as it did. But it did. And we all want it for fall. This boot is trend-proof perfection, plain and simple.”
“Joseph Altuzarra always comes up with a desirable new shoe. For fall, it was his croc-embossed block heels.”
“Can you believe this is a Kendall + Kylie shoe?! Into the velvet, chic navy and rounded heel. Just goes to show that you just never know what you’ll find on the market. I don’t know if I could picture either sister in this style, but we shall see.”
“These kind of low-profile kicks are very South American, but I love how Brazilian brand Osklen updated this particular trainer in gold just in time for the Olympics in Rio.”
“Newbark’s collaboration with Beau Souci features the season’s breakout embellishment trend: piercings. And these slippers sure would hurt less than needles.”
“Everyone did velvet this seaosn, but few did very much with it. Alexandre Birman explored the textile’s tapesty roots by embossing it with this beautiful leaf print.”
“APL had me at blush knit running shoes. Just the thing for dashing to barre class.”
“New label Aska grabbed my attention with these mod slingbacks in the fashion girl’s idea of neutrals: gold and python.”
“Carven’s electric boots in a high-impact digital print were made for Instagramming, which, let’s be honest, is increasing important these days.”
“Christopher Kane wins for most charming detail with his featured booties.”
“Dorateymur’s bold telephone pumps were inspired by The New Romatics. It’s love, indeed.”
“J.W. Anderson’s courageous mishmash of materials shouldn’t work, but somehow, just does this season. It’s all about individualism, after all.”
“Marc Jacobs towering platforms are so fantastic just to marvel at. The petit Lady Gaga navigated in them best on the catwalk.”
“British heritage brand Gola may be known for their football trainers and more classic styles, but this rosegold high-top is a great step forward for the label, which is about to turn 111.”
“SJP Collection’s Mary Jane tones down the sweet factor in this chic olive silk.”
“Canadian designer Steven Tai is only just dipping his toe into shoe design, but I like where he is heading, judging by these pearl-tipped loafers.”
“Blush Chelsea riding boots from Tibi are a great update on the equestrain signature.”
“Toga’s runway shoes were so different than their signature western boots. These poison ivy green and kooky studding is not what you expect to see on fisherman sandals!”
