There's something tantalizing about twice-dipped things: chocolate
covered strawberries, caramel covered apples, cheese covered
popcorn...to name a few.
Little did we know, this same rule applies beyond food, to shoes. Hester Vlamings line
of two-tone, color-dipped heels, boots and slingbacks are double the
treat. The leather hues range from mustard to burnt orange to ivory to
gold - all of which are enhanced by the contrast of the dark,
ebony-embossed toe.
Though a fashion scene newbie, Vlamings is astutely on trend with her
multi-hued wares, as any fan of Yves Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, Prada or
Dolce & Gabbana can attest to. The designer is a cobbler of the
finest education, with a degree in fashion and industrial design at the
Artschool in Arnhem. Currently Vlamings' stylings can be found in
several boutiques throughout the Netherlands.
And her shoes are not only commercial-minded. The art community has
taken notice of her artistic designs, and fashion afficianados can take
in her work in galleries and museums throughout The Netherlands,
Belgium, Germany and France. By L. Harper
