Nicholas Kirkwood wife

There is a point in Nicholas Kirkwood that is recognizable among thousands, an architecture of shoes that is difficult to find elsewhere. But the person who creates shoes as precious as jewels doesn't just dress them in leather and tulle. Its distinctive sign? The Pearl. A jewelry ornament par excellence, the latter is omnipresent in the German shoemaker's creations, which is no coincidence when we know that he began his career with another accessory, just as rich: the hat. And not just any one. A student in 1998 at Central Saint Martins School (London), Nicholas Kirkwood became friends with Philip Treacy, a mad hatter whose talent was matched only by his eccentricity. For five years, the future king of shoes learned the basics of the milliner's profession. But it was when he saw Philip Treacy's clients that another idea came to him: dressed in the most beautiful outfits, in possession of the most beautiful handbags, they were nevertheless wearing shoes that failed to add the finishing touch to their style. . Back at school, Nicholas Kirkwood then trained at Cordwainers College (London), a factory for shoemaking talents. Upon his release in 2005, he founded his eponymous brand. Far from shining solo, he imposes his already well-established aesthetic on the catwalks of the biggest houses and quickly develops a loyal clientele, in love with his designs that are both daring and comfortable. Inspired by architecture, listening to trends but also to his aficionados, the designer imagines each season new models that are both chic and irreverent, classics twisted with a little touch of madness that promises to enhance all looks. In addition to the iconic Beya, Nicholas Kirkwood is renowned for the Casati line, whose heels are completely adorned with pearls, but also the D'Arcy, Miri and even the incredible Jazzelle models. Great art.
