Moroccan landscape by Inslee Haynes |
Midtown, NYC
Architectural lavishness takes many forms---as destinations and their structures-inside and out, near and far flung- serve as decorative muses for artists and designers.
This year-the exotic colors and shapes of Morocco are the sources for the colors and shapes of Coye Nokes new footwear styles for Fall 2013.
Nokes...a seasoned professional, crafts wearable boots/shoes for women who lean towards understated luxury---preferring footwear that compliments her outfit-not dominates it. Charming too-she wonderfully interprets that popular destination's older buildings-that allure beholders with its exotic mix of Islamic and African design influences.
PLUS-new materials for classic C. N. selections.
black, desert, flint and cobalt toned suedes...eye catching Anisa Booties will be available at Piperlime |
FYI: all shoes and boots-whether flats and high heels-have padded footbeds and -for 'taller' styles-hidden platforms. Coye Nokes footwear is made to really be worn in when in a vertical position---as this talent takes comfort seriously---
made beautifully-suede zipper tab, suede covered heel... |
Highlights: For Fall 2013 -but really there were many selections we think are year round suitable...we loved these two toned/color blocked, solid heeled, ankle ANISA booties ($475)- with distinctive double ankle metallic leather bands (in gold, bronze or pewter mirror)...
walker friendly-there is an embedded platform heel inside-preserving the elegant-more single sole looking silhouette...vs. chunky, heavy looking platforms |
open toe triple strap 'winter' sandals...wear with hosiery or not... |
solid heel done well-sculptural quality to it |
slim silhouette-very solid heel |
Alice Peep Toe $375 |
silver glitter-also available in gold glitter (and leopard/black calf hair-pictured below) |
Alice peep toe pumps adds sparkle to any outfit---as versatile as they are-can be worn with cocktail frocks or dressed down with jeans and a tee. Great travel choice too.
every shoe/boot by Coye Nokes has a padded footbed |
Cobalt python in a Catherine Flat and Mara Pumps---classic C.N. styles in different materials... |
refs the evening slipper-INAS Flat comfy with the ease of a slipper... but with enough foot coverage for colder temps |
