I am a massive wedge fan (teetering on stilettos not so much) so when I spotted these bad boys in my March issue of Elle I knew I would do almost anything to get my hands on a pair. Luckily for me they weren’t a £400 designer pair, but part of Julian Louie’s capsule collection for high street shoe giant Aldo. This much buzzed about young designer originally trained as an architect, but discovered a knack for fashion after a number of in-house internships, including a stint at Calvin Klein.
The clever folk at Aldo spotted his potential from the off and snapped him up to design a collection for them. This was previewed at his SS11 show and sent the fashion editors and bloggers into a tweeting/posting frenzy. Since they launched in Aldo (at a pretty reasonable £85) the demand has been incredible as young fashionistas have rushed to snap up these unique statement shoes - so you had better be quick if you haven’t yet got your hands on a pair. There is one very smug young lady in the Amazing PR office who has said shoes waiting for her at home, this may be one love affair that is set to last...
