I've been more than a little intrigued by the appearance of Paul Andrew on the list of shoe designers to know. These floral numbers in particular have been a great showcase for his work -- elegant and expensive (that favourite adjective of Nina Garcia's on Project Runway, and in her case and this, a decided compliment rather than diss), but still with a healthy injection of fun and whimsy, but not so much as to cross into Sophia Webster territory. We all know I'm a big Sophia fan, and nobody makes comfortable shoes like she does, but Paul Andrew takes florals and stripes and makes them look way more classy than you'd ever expect, with colour combos that are classic but still pop (purple and green!) and good range when it comes to heel heights and sizes and shapes. Wedges, stilettos, chunky heels, kitten heel, flats, sandals, pointy-toed... the only thing that doesn't feature is a round-toe anything, but that makes sense, because everybody knows that round toes are for pussies.
Get these at Paul Andrew.
