WITH WINGS ON FEET

It 's time to fly.
 The Hermes winged foot  or even simple butterflies resting on the heel, on ankle, or under the heel, inspire  shoes designers. Iconic and now on the catalog for several seasons the  "Adidas wing",  some details change, but the concept is always the same. Sophia Webster pose colorful or metal butterflies  behind the heel of sandals. And Ferragamo celebrates its 100th anniversary with the winged shoes designed by Colombian Edgardo Osorio.
Remain in our memory "butterflies under the feet" by Guardiani that go back three years ago and always in the same year the excessive wings designed by Christian Dada for Lady Gaga. Date back 2010 romantic sandals with ankle  lacing with wing by Vivienne Westwood.

E' tempo di volare.
Il piede alato di Hermes o anche semplici farfalle poggiate sul tallone, alla caviglia, o sotto il tallone, ispirano i designers di scarpe.
Iconiche e ormai su catalogo da diverse stagioni le "Adidas wing", cambia qualche dettaglio ma il concept è sempre quello. Sophia Webster fa posare farfalle colorate o metal dietro al tallone dei sandali. E Ferragamo festeggia i suoi 100 anni con le scarpe alate progettate dal Colombiano Edgardo Osorio.
Restano nella nostra memoria "le farfalle sotto i piedi" di Guardiani che risalgono a tre anni fa e sempre in quello stesso anno le ali eccessive disegnate da Christian Dada per Lady Gaga. Del 2010 invece i sandali romantici con allacciatura e ala alla caviglia di Vivienne Westwood.

COLOURING MY FEET

Sophia was awarded the Mayor of London and British Fashion Council’s Fashion Forward prize for AW14 and SS15.The SS14 collection saw the launch of her iconic Butterfly collection, including the Chiara sandals, a style that has since evolved into the Angel Wing design, most notably the Evangeline heels. Her shoe collections have expanded to include a wide range of styles, from flats to espadrilles, and include the classic Coco Pump showcasing the Flamingo detail at the back of the heel, an image now synonymous with the brand.
Camilla Elphick has worked under designers including Nicholas Kirkwood, Sophia Webster, Donna Karan, Paul Andrew and Charlotte Olympia. She attended Parsons, New York and Cordwainers in London, and her graduate shoe collection, ‘So Bad It’s Good’ gained widespread attention from fashion editors with the ‘Pez’ shoe, prompting her to launch her eponymous label for SS15.Handmade in Italy, Camilla’s designs are defined by a feminine yet playful aesthetic and focus on premium, ethically sourced materials and bespoke prints. Her signature silhouette features a sexy curve below the ankle, designed to elongate the leg.
