shoe designer, Tracey Neuls

…

New to her collection is the

Ally Lippizan Derby Shoe

all leather

wood heels

quirky pointed toes

white hairs with contrast brown laces

…

Derby shoes are kindred designs to brogues, Oxfords, Bluchards.

A distinct feature of a traditional derby is the shoe lace eyelets construction

which are positioned on top (as opposed to beneath)

the vamp (front section) of a shoe.

Unlike the Oxford shoe, which were worn for more formal occasions-

the Derby, dating back to the 1850s,

was for casual wear, more specifically hunting / sporting events.

…

The Ally Lippizan shoe is a design nod to a classic footwear.

…

Visit Ms. Neuls two independent London boutiques-

located in hot-shop-spots:  Marylebonne Lane and Redchurch Street, Shoreditch.

The window displays are eye arresting (so you will stop!).

The interior decors are whimsical fun (so you will stay awhile!).

Denim – visionary: designs by the emerging creatives of 69

Like the once shrouded in mystery, creative team at Maison Martin Margiela

(before the recent appointment of John Galliano as creative director)

the avant-gardist designers of Los Angeles based, denim fashion house 69

are an anonymous collective.

Identifying the aesthetic sensibility of the clothes

is of more import than the individual identities of the designers.

 

…

Although the ‘who are they?’

information about the designers remain a guarded secret,

there is no question as to the spirit of the brand’s construct:

‘fashion- boundary push’, conceptual, minimalist, unisex denim wear.

 

…

Of interest is the brand name-  the number 69

which within a contemporary interpretation of numerology,

alludes to the expected differences between partners of any relationship couple.

Yet also acknowledges a balance created, a yin and yang complement

generated by a full partnership, an equal exchange of ‘gives and takes’.

…

The 69 aesthetics of unisex clothing speaks to this numerological sense of

balance, equality, reciprocity.

…
