Dekkori Decks Shoes, and Now Designs Them

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

Designer Stephanie Kim had a question: what to do with a shortage of shoe space and an exponentially increasing shoe collection? Her answer: she conceived Dekkori, a line of shoe accessories and styling pieces that turn one pair of shoes into many.  With the flick of a snap (and some cleverly hidden elastic), flip flops become gladiator sandals and ankle boots become killer thigh-highs.

Eventually, Kim’s buyers had a few questions of their own: what type of shoe does one wear with Dekkori accessories? Naturally, Kim had the answer: design a collection of five basic, quality shoes that complement the Dekkori styling pieces. Simple booties, wedges, and flats provide a clean canvas for the shoe stylist in all of us.

Introducing ZEFERINO footwear

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

Introducing Zeferino handmade footwear. Established in 2006, Zeferino is a collection of shoes and accessories manufactured in their privately owned factory with the highest standards of quality.

With a great following in its native Brazil,  three flagship stores in the country’s most prestigious cities (Sao Paulo and Brasilia), Zeferino’s shoes are a must have in the closets of every stylish Brazilian. After many successful seasons, Zeferino decided to expand their horizons and launch the brand Internationally, evoking the glamour and allure of today’s “It Girls”.

Much as the muses that inspire the collection, the shoes are edgy yet feminine, strong yet sexy and each with a very distinguished look.

Heels, flats and boots in sharp colors and innovative textures are the base of the collection, filled with character and a seductive personality. This season, the line introduces a snakeskin print on calf hair, mixing tradition with the unexpected, which is the idea behind Zeferino’s shoes. There is always something unusual: a thicker heel, a pop of color, metallic python or a rubber sole.

With a rich color palette of jewel tones with touches of earthy shades, the collection launches Fall 2011 with a sophisticated panache. Having the strength and confidence of an already established brand, Zeferino brings to the American market a collection of statement pieces that are made to bring out the “It Girl” on each woman that wears them.
