Calling all foot fetishist’s: get ready to wank over the decadent footwear orgy that is Liberty’s Shoe Weekend. Yep, our favourite London wonder-emporium is currently hosting a shoe-related love-in celebrating everything about our beloved leathery accessories.
Nicholas Kirkwood kicked off the proceedings last night with a shoe boutique takeover, selling all his to-die-for bespoke creations for Erdem, Louise Gray, Roksanda Ilincic amongst others. Young upstart Raphael Young will be in store from 3pm today to shoot the breeze with y’all and disclose his new collection.
Later on the party really gets started when DJ Richard Sloan and his ‘Sloan Rangers’ cabal hit the decks. Drag-artistes extraordinaire Johnny Woo, Jeanette plus statuesque goddess Gwendoline Christie will be setting-up their rabble-rousing occupation in the shoe floor from 6pm – exemplifying how to shake your thang in vertiginous heels, of course.
Tomorrow Rupert Sanderson will be in convo with Fiona Golfar, Vogue’s ed-at-large from 2pm and somewhat strangely, will be signing shoes afterwards. As much as we heart RS, quite why you’d want his scrawl over your beautiful kicks is beyond us. Anyway, all those snapping up a pair will be gifted with a pair of heart shoe-shapers (we have a pair and they are beyond cute!)
More feety treats come courtesy of the Sole Spa squad’s podiatry skills. The team will be on-hand to de-corn and de-stress those Christmas shopping overworked tootsies so hot foot it (boom boom!) down there at some point over the coming days.
