Stopped stock still and slowly letting out a heartfelt gasp… This was me as I spotted a small, but stunningly effective display of Nicholas Kirkwood shoes in a corner of Somerset House’s LFW exhibition.
You may well have read about our passion for Mr Kirkwood’s creations on the “Blink” blog before. The love affair continues as we drooled over these amazing creations for Jean Pierre Braganza– fresh from the catwalk, looking like pastel powder puffs of heaven in high heels. We also marveled at these hand carved wooden heeled wonders that Kirkwood created for Rodarte’s S/S’11 NYFW show. He is clearly a love affair for them too as he has created the shoes for Rodarte’s last few collections.
Genius in a shoebox, as far as we are concerned…

Thanks for the comment Mr Hackett. It seems that you are not alone in your opinion. Cute blog BTW,

I’m not fully convinced by the Rodarte carved wooden heels, but I’ve been incredibly impressed with their offerings in the last year (especially their more budget range).
Those carved wooden ones look a bit on the kitsch side…
