Mai Lamore Shoes
Mai Lamore has been the ‘need to know’ name among fashionistas for months and this week she’s finally launching her new collection exclusively at Browns in London.
The shoe designer has been secretly developing her line of high luxury couture shoes after 20 years in the art world.
Mai Lamore Rose Shoes, $27, 945.00 or £17, 197.00
The collection is not classed as ‘Haute Couture’ and the ‘most expensive shoes of 2009′ for nothing. The shoes come with a price tag that is not for the faint-hearted in the pockets (prices start from £8,500.00) because it incorporates the most precious materials on earth such as shaved mink, satin, gold, natural pearls and semi precious stones to make each shoe a beautiful work of art. As you can see on the Mai Lamore Rose Shoes above, she has incorporated 18 karat gold heels complemented with the hand dyed silk petals.
Mai Lamore Feather Platform Heel, £8,989.00
But fear not! Mai has also created a limited edition, prêt-a-porter collection inspired by her luxury shoes with a more affordable price tag (affordable starts at £1,400.00). For example, the gorgeous Mai Lamore Eva Platform below left, which is available in crocodile, leather and python.
Browns now stocks her collection exclusively in the UK, and because of the shoes’ exclusivity, you cannot order them online. You have to go to the store so get there quickly because I predict a riot!
