Charlotte Olympia

[rosalynn]

Charlotte Olympia did the shoes for the Peter Som S/S 2011 collection in New York. Very colourful, very high and looked like a more chiselled version of Miranda crossed with Paloma. BTW saw Charlotte Olympia Dellal on Fashion's Night Out, she is so nice.

thanks a lot! i was wondering who did peter som's shoes.

 

[rosalynn]

Ah, you're welcome. I wasn't keen on the collection but loved the shoes, I said to my sister they looked very Charlotte Olympia - high, colourful, and reminded me of the Miranda, so I was happy to learn that they WERE Charlotte Olympias. Hope they end up in one of her collections.

Ooh thanks for the tip Fashionlova, i'll do that too!

Have been at London Fashion Week the past 5 days and am seeing amazing Charlotte Olympia's EVERYWHERE on front rows and in shows! I keep bumping into Olivia Palermo and I swear she must be sent them - she's had an amazing pair of them on every day!

 

[rosalynn]

I saw loads too, really good to see! I was even watching a live stream of ACNE and there was a girl there with leopard Dollies. Glad she's so popular now.

if you had a choice, would you get the maxine in fushia or purple?
and another question, i ordered the last pair of purple satin dollys in half a size bigger than what i usually wear and its big, whats the best product to make it fit?

 

[mistress_f]

^ id personally get them in purple since fuchsia would be too flashy for my own taste, considering that the shoes themselves are already kinda eye-catching

 

[UNiQFashionista]

I think so too..and the maxine purple is pretty dark..not like the satin dolly...

It depends where it doesn't fit. If it's specifically in the heel or toe box, you could get a 'half insert' to go in those areas to fill up space so that your heel or toes don't slide around. Alternatively, if it's in the heel area you could get a heel grip to see if that helps. If it's just slightly too big all over, you could just get a full shoe insert, which takes up room and helps your foot fill out the shoe. I've done that in the past and it's worked perfectly, as long as the shoe isn't too shallow (because then it feels like your foot is constantly falling out).

nylon just did an article on her shoes this morning..i had no idea that she was a Dellal

Just wondering if anyone has tried the red velvet wedge sandals in real life? I love them, but don't know if they'll be at all realistic to walk in or if they're purely 'sitting around' shoes? Thanks in advance

i just took a quick pic today!!
everyone is going crazy over them!!

will try and take pic when i wear them out B)

Holy Crap!

They must be the most beautiful, ballbreaker shoes I have ever (ever, ever!) seen.

I bought my first from Charlotte Olympia three years ago - when they were less expensive and less ankle-breaking - and plan on asking for these pony leather brogues for Christmas.

I've not been (too!) naughty a girl this year, so here's to hoping Santa feels generous...

Style Souk please remember to credit your pic... thanks

I should have pulled the trigger, like you, a few years ago when they were less in-demand. There was a stunning piano print platform shoe that had my name all over it!!

 

[Boots & Perfume]

Style Souk (nice to see you on here too darling!), I LOVE those leopard brogues!! And please, please post a picture of your earlier Charlotte Olympia's - I'd love to see them (I must confess I hadn't paid much attention to her until early last year).

Apparently the shoes that were in Peter Som's S/S runway show will be in Charlotte's store in Spring.

 

[rosalynn]

Her e-store is now open at http://charlotteolympia.com, a few web exclusives too.
