Every cinderella has her glass slipper and every fairy tale should have a happy ending. Four months ago I saw this magical heel on Ada Kokosar’s instagram and I could have happily swapped my night in shining armour for this baby along with all of my vital organs. If you don’t really know Ada it’s…
There aren’t many shows at fashion week where the atmosphere outside the venue, is just as electric as the show itself.

The stage was set before you entered the building for the Loewe Spring 2019 show.

This was my second very honourable invitation to…
