Our favourite stylist-turned-shoe-designer Tabitha Simmons has enlisted her uber-talented husband Craig McDean (the acclaimed New York fashion photographer) to bring her Fall Winter 2011-12 collection to life on film.
A tuxedo triumph
A personal favourite of Coccodrillo’s Eddy Michiels, the ‘Edna’ shoe from Miss TABITHA SIMMONS‘ Fall Winter 2011-12 collection features a severe point, a skinny heel and lace-up with a contrast apron.
This very chic white-on-black combination would pair beautifully with a longline trouser (dramatically flared or slim and cropped) or a figure-hugging pencil skirt and pussybow blouse.
Nautical but nice…
IN THE WINDOW: TABITHA SIMMONS‘ BRETON-INSPIRED SANDALS & ESPADRILLES ARE A BOLD WAY TO STEP OUT IN STYLE THIS SPRING.
We’ve chosen some of our favourite details from the Spring Summer collections at YVES SAINT LAURENT, PRADA & MIU MIU – with punchy appliqué, colour-blocking & sharp angles for a graphic, ladylike compliment to Tabitha’s designs. (more…)
Talking Tabitha
British stylist Tabitha Simmons has switched sides of the fashion game – from rifling through the Vogue closets to designing what’s inside them.
With her eponymous range of luxurious, super-feminine shoes, she has firmly entrenched her name as an independent designer in an industry rife with copycats and rather homogenous high heels. Her designs echo a global sensibility for fashion, as a New York-based Brit with an aesthetic perspective wrought in the ateliers of McQueen and Dolce & Gabbana, and in the studio with photographers such as Glen Luchford, Steven Meisel and husband Craig McDean.
Tabitha took a minute out of her crazy schedule for New York fashion week and the SS11 campaign season to chat about her creations with Dan Thawley for Coccodrillo Blog.
