LA based shoe and accessories designer Tiffany Tuttle (LD Tuttle) has a fresh, raw vision that translates into smart, simple, and timeless pieces. She's worked for Givenchy, designed for Erin Wasson, and has an extensive number of stockists from California all the way to Kuwait.
What really makes these creations unique and spectacular, aside from the impeccable quality and incredible materials, is the transformable, subtle details in her designs. It's obvious that
every stitch, lace, buckle, and component of each shoe is thought out and purposeful.
It seemed like everyone was in love with this modernized, twisted take on the lace up boot. The diagonal lace and claw-like heel bring this classic shoe into the 21st century.
These amazing slouched sling backs stopped the show. The creamy, gorgeous leather is seriously what dreams are made of.
This uneven wedge perfectly exemplifies the tough, feminine element found in all of Tuttle's designs. A muted color palette of dark hues, distressed suede, and a semi-futuristic yet simple shape creates the perfect boot.
I immediately fell in love with these convertible fold-over boots. They can be worn mid-calf or knee high, and are made of the richest, most buttery leather, the likes of which I don't think a combat boot has ever seen before.
V.O.D.'s Jackie Bolin slips into a pair of fabulous sandals.
Also for sale that night was the beautifully designed, exceptional jewelry by Canadian designer Arielle De Pinto. She uses an uncommon approach to creating her jewelry by treating metal wires and chains as fibers, and crocheting durable yet delicate looking pieces.
Her unique style and organic designs can more accurately be described as wearable art than jewelry.
All together the night was an amazing success. The people were fabulous, the space was fantastic, and the fashion was even better.
