There's something tantalizing about twice-dipped
things: chocolate covered strawberries, caramel covered apples, cheese
covered popcorn...to name a few.
Little did we know, this same rule applies beyond food, to shoes. Hester Vlamings line
of two-tone, color-dipped heels, boots and slingbacks are double the
treat. The leather hues range from mustard to burnt orange to ivory to
gold - all of which are enhanced by the contrast of the dark,
ebony-embossed toe.
Though a fashion scene newbie, Vlamings is
astutely on trend with her multi-hued wares, as any fan of Yves Saint
Laurent, Miu Miu, Prada or Dolce & Gabbana can attest to. The
designer is a cobbler of the finest education, with a degree in fashion
and industrial design at the Artschool in Arnhem. Currently Vlamings'
stylings can be found in several boutiques throughout the Netherlands.
And
her shoes are not only commercial-minded. The art community has taken
notice of her artistic designs, and fashion afficianados can take in
her work in galleries and museums throughout The Netherlands, Belgium,
Germany and France. By L. Harper
