I fell in love with shoe designer
Cleo Barbour while reading the Evening Standard's Homes and Property section on Wednesday (total house porn - my favourite day of the week for precisely that reason).
As well as talking about her love for Lassco, and various London places close to my heart, there was a picture of a totally extraordinary shoe. "Oh yes," she was saying brightly, "Those are inspired by Tetris."
MARRY ME.
What a woman. The Tetris shoes are part of her Cleo B Autumn/Winter collection, which is also inspired by tin robot. She is
unveiling them properly in July, at a pop-up shop at the Andaz hotel in Liverpool Street. They are absolutely gorgeous.
And luckily for my eyes and feet, they come in Tetris flats! What a thoughtful lady you are, Cleo.
Her other shoes are a total joy. They're not all wacky, but I adore a wacky pair of shoes so have highlighted those and those alone here.
These
Boom! sandals at the top fill me with happiness. They're on a par with those lovely
Ancient Green winged sandals.
The
Sucker M.C. peep toes have a cassette for a heel. Which I ADORE. Also, lovely fun colours.
Cleo B shoes are all around the £250 - £300 mark, so keep an eye on her
online sale shop.
Oh I do love Cleo B and her disco ways. I went to LASSCO yesterday, they've got a kitten called Steve in the SE1 branch.
ReplyDeleteThey had NO kittens at the Vauxhall branch's restaurant, but then that was probably for the best.
DeleteBut they do have gin.
