Shoe-Off
I have shoes that don’t fit. I look at them and go: ‘Oh it doesn’t matter that I can’t wear them—they’re so pretty!’
—Keira Knightley
Miss K’s words invoke Jerome C. Rousseau’s striking spring collection, fresh on the shelves at Holt Renfrew. We adore his black and gold Bellatrix T-straps, inspired by the geometric patterns of designer Ettore Sottsass, and the suede colour-block Dragon pumps in silver, coral and mint green.
Conceived in L.A. and constructed in Tuscany, Rousseau’s shoes are so lovely they would look as perfect on our mantel as they do on our feet. We think Keira would agree.
