[slider_pro id=”1″] Similar to the women at Fashion Week, the men in attendance at the shows are dressed in their finest designer duds. Sightings of men wearing bright colors and mixed prints are proof that women aren’t the only ones having fun with fashion. Nevertheless, one of the most captivating sights during the men’s shows is actually a woman.
These Bionda Castana Maya corset-style sandals are hard not to fall in love with as soon as you lay eyes on them.

The line, helmed by London designers Jennifer Portman and Natalia Barbieri, is known for its seriously feminine and glamorous shoes adorned with hardware details.

Vancouver-based photographer Hana Pesut’s dual portrait series, Switcheroo, takes a gender-bending look at street-style fashion by having couples exchange complete looks – all the way down to the shoes and even hairstyles. Her captivating before and after photos challenge the concept of dressing according to gender and they also flirt with the notion of how clothes shape our identity.

The contemporary collection, with its unorthodox pairing of sweet and tough was attracting lots of attention from buyers, consumers and the press.
“You can love fashion and clothes but that’s not necessarily always the path that you were meant to be on,” explains 30-year-old Ayeisha Mesinger, the designer behind the perfect-with-everything bag line Morgan Parish. Following years as a clothing designer working at labels such as Band of Outsiders, where she focused on menswear, Mesinger discovered her calling while searching for the perfect leather tote to suit her yearning for a bag that was functional, durable and, of course, cool. |
