Erdem – Spring 2011 | London Fashion Week

Rodarte – Spring 2011 | New York Fashion Week
Nicholas Kirkwood brings Rodarte’s collections to a whole new level. He’s been creating shoes for Rodarte since spring/summer 2009. Rodarte’s “seventies suburbia” spring 2011 inspiration was accented with Kirkwood’s super-sculptural gold platforms. The platform wedges are hand carved from wood featuring butterflies and flower shapes.
Prabal Gurung – Spring 2011 | New York Fashion Week
This was Nicholas Kirkwood’s first collection with Prabal Gurung. These striking stilettos complimented Prabal’s graphic collection. The designs feature mixed textures such as leather and latex in 5 bold color combinations in shades of black, white, sand and coral. The 5 latex straps that wrap around the ankle were influenced by African tribal necklaces.

Louise Gray, Pollini/Kirkwood – Spring 2011 | London Fashion Week
Nicholas Kirkwood was appointed creative director for Pollini and recently just launched the Pollini Forward Designer Project which collaborates with 5 designers. One of the collaborations was with designer Louise Gray.
Louise Gray’s collection was described as crafty, colorful and tribal. The shoes featured bright plastic uppers and scalloped tractor-like rubber soles; a Pollini signature.
Preen Pollini/Kirkwood – Spring 2011 | London Fashion Week
The Pollini and Preen collaboration was also apart of Kirkwood’s Pollini Forward Designer Project. Preen’s collection was inspired by a trip to Egypt and the shoes were delicate featuring minimalistic sandals and mesh booties.
Michael van de Ham – Spring 2011 | London Fashion Week
Michael van de Ham’s spring 2011 collection was all about texture. Pollini’s use of leather and summery velvet for the shoes was a perfect compliment. The heels feature both leather and velvet with chunky laces tied in a large knot.
Meedham Kirchhoff – Spring 2011 | London Fashion Week
From the stage to the accessories and even the shoes – everything was embellished. The shoes were decorated with beading and sequins on top of a sparkled base with black or blue piping. The cutout sandals featured a small platform with chunk heel.

Super like, especially the carved ones!
Nicholas Kirkwood has been super busy. I love those sexy heels for Prabal Gurung. I also like the Preen collection. The Meedham Kirchhoff beaded platforms are hideous . . .at least to me.
Love them all…but WOW the Kirkwood for Rodarte shoes are AMAZING!!!
