One of the biggest events in the fashion world just passed—New York Fashion Week that is! As I was looking through pictures online, there was one picture that stood out from the rest. Ashanti’s leopard print Garcelle Beauvais dress did not make the headline but her self-expressive shoes —F**k You! open-toed pumps with a single heel temperament a hulk decal of a lady giving the finger. I know it is very controversial but so clever! This is definitely one of those ‘turning something negative into positive’ moments but though fashion. Creativity at its flipping best. Being a shoe-aholic myself, this definitely piqued my interest and
curiousity so I asked myself which designer would be bold enough to create this? None other than Italian shoe designer Massimo Dogana. Yes that was my second question. Who the heck is he? He is known for his flashy pieces for women’s shoes. I love his latest F**k You! boots, very stunning and exquisite in their aesthetic. Ok I’m not going to pretend I’ve heard of him before I saw these shoes. Before him, when it comes to customizing high end distinctive unique shoe designs, my shoe vocabulary only contained my favourites—Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik and Giuseppe Zanotti . And now it will be my pleasure to add Massimo Dogana in my top five list. Shame on me for not knowing who he was. Mr. Dogana please forgive me! I want a pair for my collection.
