Nicholas Kirkwood, Shoe Design’s Newest Rock Star
There’s been a lot of buzz about Nicholas Kirkwood lately. Some are even calling him the next Louboutin or Manolo. Kirkwood is a shoe designer from the UK and his works have graced the runways of many fashion houses in the last few seasons. He’s gaining popularity rapidly, and for good reason.
Kirkwood’s designs are very polished and architectural. In an interview he did with Elle magazine he said, “I’ve always been interested in structure, in very linear shapes.” “Whether it’s furniture or accessories or whatever, I love things that have a practicality to them.”
His Autumn/Winter 08 line has a very modern, architectural aesthetic. The innovative platform gives the line cohesion and makes it uniquely recognizable.
