Local footwear is moving forward with up-to-date trends that keep you on the radar. At the recently concluded “Design Anthologies,” the anniversary gala of celebrated designer Jor-El Espina, parading the runway were local footwear showstoppers Parisian for women, Salvatore Mann and Milanos for men.
Fashioning every step with glamour to complement the uber couture womenswear masterpieces were contemporary chic mules with stunning gold heels. Some gorgeous pieces were crafted to perfection in woven details. Pointy, trendy and very now, the new mule has been style elevated.
Also spotted were T-strap heels with a bit of platform -- vintage classic made new. Glittering sandals were also not left unnoticed. Parisian’s noteworthy and current pieces completed the modern look of high fashion.
Men’s shoes aren’t to be left behind. Salvatore Mann stepped fashion forward with cool loafers with a slip-on silhouette. Modern and stylishly polished, local men’s footwear has never been this dressy casual for all occasions. Loafers have now ascended to next level.
Meanwhile, Milanos’ grounding leather sandals takes the style spot matched with menswear couture. The elevated appeal makes the look modern and sleek without looking too casual — the combination just works.
Overall, SM Store’s ladies and men’s footwear have taken the big step with today’s fashion narratives. They have elevated their shoe-stoppers with the current evolution of modern dressing and made themselves stylish and practically relevant -- their runway presence and partnership with Jor-El Espina’s “Design Anthologies” says it all.
