It's all in the understated details where less is always the most.
Uppers are sleek and clean with a nod to the sixties in todays must have silhouettes. The only upper detail is delicate, but graphic ‘slot gores’ to add stretch and graphic dimension.
Clean cylindrical and spherical lines inspired by 1960’s brushed stainless steel lighting fixtures, form the basis of the constructions for this collection, portrayed through four heights of cast metal heels.
Cast metal heels are explored across the collection:
12mm PEDESTAL - fashion flat heel for sandals, flats and boots
50mm SLASHED SPHERE - fashion mid heel
85mm SLASHED CYLINDER - fashion high block heel
100mm SKINNY CYLINDRICAL - fashion sky high stiletto heel
Easy, but bold 12mm Circular brushed steel heel w a square toe last inspired by the sixties.
Open toes are designed as peekaboo’s, straight cut openings for a more modern ‘snipped’ look on sandals, ballet flats and flat booties.
A dramatic, novelty 50mm Spherical brushed steel heel paired with a blunt square toe last, together cut an architectural silhouette across a mule, ankle bootie, thong mid shaft height sandal and an OTT over-the-knee boot.
A modern take on a 85mm high block heel, part sphere/part cylinder, brushed steel on the same square toe last, take a gutsy step forward as a peekaboo toe slingback, an ‘opened up’ shootie and tall boot, and a closed toe tall boot.
The edgiest and sexiest interpretation of the steel heel at 100mm x 8mm diameter at top lift, features a closed toe, high vamp pump, peekaboo low shootie, an asymmetric thong sandal, a mid shaft height peekaboo boot and a mid thigh closed toe boot all sharing the same square toe last.

A personal collection of dynamic contemporary footwear that will reveal your independent, polished, sexy, adventurous nature. An accent to your cool chic style, as Industry leader, global traveller, urban cultural explorer, resort dweller or a reveler in any local scene.
It's all in the understated details where less is always the most.
Architectural and clean sculptural lines form the overall aesthetic and provoke an exploration of balance, between positive and negative space; a considered reveal within the uppers, the constructions, or in combination at their most overt.
Reveals are explored across threes levels within the collection:
KISSED, KEYHOLED and SLASHED
Beautifully crafted within the Americas, using the finest vachetta, calf and stretch calf leathers across a beautiful range of American skin tones. Lightly finished for a subtle sheen that plays beautifully off your natural skin tone. Also offered in a glamorous petite shrunken metal grain in a range of nude tones when your’e hankering for a little more shine.
All leather and color selections are equal parts dramatic and wearable 24/7, no matter where in the world you may find yourself.
Hardware detailing takes sculptural inspiration from the dramatic 1960’s Circle Chair by Jorgen Hovelskov for buckle closures; and from graphic steel inlays in the terrazzo flooring at Royal Ontario Museum for the linear metal insets framing the cut outs of the wedges. The overall effect offers a glint of hardware just where it is needed.
Exploring the art of two upper pieces touching or kissing, to create feminine negative space - a peekaboo of skin in unexpected places of the uppers.
Strategically opened up, featuring a Kissing instep, peekaboo heel and a double wrap ankle strap on an 85mm Cut Out Wedge.
Curvaceous keyhole openings and bold lines allow the upper leathers and color to be the extension of you in the most relevant must have silhouettes.
Keyhole side openings with high slipper vamp and double wrap ankle strap on a 40mm kitten heel.
Extending the keyhole concept across open toe styles and expanding into bold sculptural wedges with pin thin metal accents that border their negative space.
Asymmetric Keyhole as a low scoop out on lateral side, sweeping up for full coverage on medial side to join the high counter, on an 85mm stiletto heel.
