Shoe porn

Gaziano & Girling is a brand new luxury shoe manufacturer. They've been doing bespoke shoes for a little while now, as far as I know, but their ready-to-wear range was only launched a few days ago. Despite being so new on the market, they already have a good reputation, as both of their founders are quite renowned in the bespoke business and Tony Gaziano designed some of Edward Green's ready-to-wear lasts. Since G&G's shoes are priced about the same as EG's, but look more beautiful on average imho, the company should not fare badly.

Today, G&G had a trunk show on the premises of Savile Row tailors Chittleborough & Morgan to show off their collection. Unfortunately, I had to use flash to take the following pictures, but they should still make for some decent sartorial pornography.

Bespoke samples.

The various stages of making the sole.

Essential utensils for every serious shoe owner.

From the ready-to-wear range:
The antiquing on the tan leather is stunning.

I really, really like these half-suede Oxfords.

As one can just barely make out on this photo, the three-eyelet Derby actually has a triangular toe-cap, a design I don't think I've ever seen from any other manufacturer.

And some loafers, of course.

Now I just need a lot of money...
