John Galliano Shoes Fall 2009 Collection
The Russian-Balkan folklore is the inspiration for the John Galliano Fall 2009 shoe collection which is evident in the shoes wood soles. The collection is fabulous, with shoes that only the truly ferocious could pull off.
One of the fabulous collection is the lace up shoes with the single pom pom detail and skinny metallic heel, however the ones that lace up the leg to the knee is a bit over the top.
Another most likely shoe was the leather heart shoes, the cut out, double platform gives an illusion that the shoe is floating. Hopefully by fall, this design will be shown in more user friendly heel.
Stay tune for more Galliano shoes in an array of tremendous styles.



The Inspired Paul Smith
The essence and inspiration of Sir Paul Smith’s latest collection was right there on his invitation.
The design has a photo of what could have been a tearoom on the English coast despite it was actually taken at Darjeeling. All are equally English-looking images used as a backdrop. Aside from a couple of madras-like pieces, that was all we saw of India, but the over all idea in English concept gives an international success of Paul Smith collections.


Normally, he dipped into his own past. The opening group of gray suits was accessorized with fluoro cycling shirts. Frock coats paired with multi-buttoned waistcoats had an Edwardian flair that connected to the sartorial snappiness of the mods, who were an early education in style for Smith. I tis indeed, the collections were emphasized on tailoring. Paul Smith is too much of a fashion polyglot to stick to one story. He mixed up different tartans in the same outfit, or combined city and country by showing jackets in a hearty twill. The lining of a brown corduroy jacket popped with hunting red.
Smith acknowledged the current climate after the show by emphasizing the importance of accessories in the collection, offering passports for people with the will but not the wherewithal to enter the world of Sir Paul. Sure enough—the shoes were standouts, particularly a pair of dusty pink Chelsea boots.
Paul Smith Shoes in Cora Heels
Cora is a shoe designed by Paul Smith which features the 9 cm high heels that were made from the black patent leather with a pointed toe and a stiletto heel. Also have a T-bar detailing on the front that continues around the ankle and fastened by buckle.
Stow bag is included. The vibrant yellow soles feature an embossed with a Paul X and have a leather insole with a swirl trim.
This is one of the Paul Smith shoes for the spring/summer 2009 as featured in the Black Label Cyclic Lookbook.
