Make Mine a Mojito!

As much a feat of engineering as they are a work of art, it was my sister, Rachel who first brought Julian Hakes' Mojito shoes to my attention. I'd never seen anything like the spiral design, sculptured from a single piece of laminated carbon fibre.

A London based architect, Hakes spent over a year developing the Mojito to ensure the shoes are as comfortable as they are elegant - despite only providing support for the heel and ball of the foot.

And if you're wondering about he name... the original prototype resembled the twist of lime topping off a Mojito cocktail.

You can definitely make mine a Mojito!

Royal Blue Suede Shoes

DMU footwear design student Becka Hunt has won the covetable prize of having her design worn by the Duchess of Cambridge.

The striking cobalt shoes with lace detailing caught Kate's eye... and it seems she's not the only royal with a penchant for blue suede shoes...

Prince Harry stepped out in a pair of Russell & Bromley desert boots whilst on his official visit to Jamaica.
