"While
I would love to say these are Blahnik's Daaarling, they arn't! these
saucy numbers were bought from a second hand shop in Covent Garden and I
love them cos when I put them on they make my boobs feel bigger!"
Marloes behind 'Red-mâché' | £850
"In order to design
and make comfortable shoes that have a different
silhouette form than the form of a foot, I invented a leather-mâché
technique. This technique made it possible to vary the thickness of the shoe
at certain parts. In this shoe the leather-mâché technique is
used with big
sheets of leather, to make the form of the shoe very abstract. All the
details like the toe and the heel come from the way of constructing this
shoe. The heel for example is just another (reinforced) sheet of leather."
I am interested in creating new shoe typologies for people with new fantasies
and
new definitions of beauty. In order to create these, to move forward in shoe
design,
I am introducing new shoemaking techniques and materials."

"No heels"|
£850
The material, polyurethane resin, is used to make a shoe without any traces of hand making, moreover the heel has been taken off, so it will look even less like existing shoes.

Ashlee | £850
In case you're wondering...worn with head to toe black and a dash of red lipstick, very 'femme fatale'. These were one of Ashlee's first pairs of Manolo's (and she has lots) "On their first outing they immediately commanded attention. Within an hour of wearing them I had a man drooling over the shoes. As he asked me to join him for coffee, all the time staring at the shoes, he said, "So, do you always wear shoes like that?"
