New Shoes @ Perfect Tomorrow and Shiny Things
You only have to glance once at the Linden template maps for textures to understand why it is that shoes, like skins, tend to be more expensive than shirts, jackets, trousers or even whole suits. A few names have become legendary for their mastery of the challenging art form of the humble shoe. Today we’ll look at the work of two designers. The first one is the legendary Fallingwater Cellardoor of Shiny Things, who has recently released a wonderful new line of shoes called Murphys. The second is someone you are far less likely to have heard of.
It’s a new name in shoe design, though it hasn’t exactly risen overnight. Perfect Tomorrow so far has only one basic design for men although it’s available in a huge variety of colours. When I first visited the shop a month or so ago, there were no demos available, though copies of the sculpted prim numbers were out on display. That has changed now and when I contacted Perfect Tomorrow about this review, I encountered a one-person band who had just overhauled the sizing of the whole product range completely and was now working through the customer list, sending each person updated versions of the shoes that they’d bought. The new versions are worth writing home about.
Here’s the bad news: I think you’re going to want to buy both designers’ shoes. Let me tell you why. (more…)
