MARCH MADNESS !

+Ms. Sarah Riley, is New Zealand’s first high-fashion shoe designer. From the time Riley was a little girl she always knew shoes made her happy but did not seriously consider being a shoe designer until she was twenty-five years old. Sarah believes in creating exquisite footwear that enables women to “feel like a million dollars and to unleash the goddess within”. According to Ms. Riley each heel is a work of art brought about by her influences from fashion, art and life.
   
- this is her new collection:

          : going to back to an earlier blog post, this new designer has touched on the new spring trend, ANIMAL PRINTS and SKINS! All of her new collection incorporate the finest leathers and some sort of animal skim. All of these have snakeskin on them. It is very exciting that New Zealand's first high fashion shoe designer is getting a lot of press and buzz!

+ Shoe designer Chrissie Morris has been getting a lot of praise for her new collection, for the past couple of seasons Mrs. Morris has found inspiration in the Art Deco movement, Cubism, Sports and Science. 
     
-This season Chrissie was inspired by the posters created by Hapshash & the Colored Coat and the artwork of Alphonse Mucha.  The perfect blend of colors in the psychedelic posters created by Hapshash and the Coloured Coat show their influence throughout this Spring collection. please visit www.chrissiemorris.com for more info.

- The patterns used for the heels were inspired by the stained glasses designed by Mucha.
