Beyond the 'similar' luxuriousness of all the designs and materials...and darker hues for Fall-the selections offer women a wide range of posh styles-from sexy glam to feminine interpretation of men's shoes.
Laurence Dacade-Pete ankle boot

New to us but certainly not the high-end footwear industry, Laurence Dacade has been crafting shoes for women much like herself-we figure---world travelers, highly cultured individuals desiring feminine sensual shoes...with "Tomboy" silhouettes with a bit of edge---in the mix.
unique use of rose metal gold with black leather and patent....eye catching combo

Tania Spinelli is a talented New York based designer originally from Sicily- who developed her artistic skills for shoes in Brazil- alongside her father-in-law, a footwear veteran who adhered to the highest Italian traditions of the craft.

Elegant, and using the finest materials-her made in Italy pumps (single sole and slight platforms), lace up and cut-out booties, ankle, combat and tall boots for Fall 2013-are polished and "uncluttered"---with the styles and workmanship -speaking for themselves-in a matter of speaking.

pointed and slightly round -tapered toes are very chic
