Colorful Shoes On The Street

 The street fashion photographer's job seems like a dream occupation but only when is so if in the ideal setting where there are actual stylish objects/subject to capture on camera - not likely to happen where I am unfortunately. This is best displayed by Scott Schuman (The Sartorialist) and Tommy Ton (Jak&Jil) who are 2 photographers that are the most popular among their peers. Also, 2 of whom I constantly stalk for their portfolios of street action on their websites to gain inspiration.

Nothing beats seeing real shoes in action. A shoe on its own no matter how stupendous the design will never have its beauty fully realized without the presence of the wearer. The choice of outfit and the bearing/gait of the wearer can change the perception of the shoe. It is also through these real life photos, one can possibly gauge a shoe's true wearable value. 

I was in the mood for pastel & neon colors. But along the way, opted to include anything with colors that pop.

Being Dandy With Miu Miu Shoes

This time for the A/W 2012 collection, Miu Miu went for a groovy late 60s vibe. Luxurious looking material with bold statements. I like the lacquered-look on the 3 loafers which allows it to be worn for more dressy occasions and sharpens the look to an otherwise vintage design. The vivid colors & print on print combo of the shoes are rich but delicate to the eye, probably because of the velvet-ish material. The chunky designs, besides adhering to the manly tailoring theme of the show, allows a fuller showcase of the exotic prints. Nice. 

I threw in some bag shots that I particularly fancied.
