Cats, clogs and carnivals

Taking inspiration from the summer catwalks, Latino Sole are releasing a range of eye catching and unique summer shoes, available from mid-April at latinosole.co.uk.

The range showcases all Summer 2008’s must have looks: extreme wedges, peep toes, eye catching graphic patterns, safari and bold colours, helping your feet to stand out from everyone else’s this summer.

Wedges were one of the most colourful looks on the catwalk this season with heels getting even bigger and more inventive. Latino Sole’s Cats & Clogs range support this:

Each wooden based clog incorporates a limited edition, signed and lacquered Amazonian painting, reproduced especially for Latino Sole. Prices from £120.

The ‘Cat Clogs’ are created by talented Brazilian sculptor and inspiring artist, J Alcantara, who gives life to the animals of the rainforest with impressive perfection. Known around the world, his art is exhibited and exposed in many museums and private collections, helping spread some of the Amazon’s beauty across the globe.

The ‘Faces’ clogs incorporate internationally renowned modern artist Kleoman’s prints, whose work has been seen as far a field as Japan, Uruguay and the USA. A highly original and imaginative painter, Kleoman effectively encapsulates the expression and sentiments of the true native Brazilian spirit.

Bright and bold peep toes provide style and comfort this summer, whether in the office or on the way to the beach.

Latino Sole’s Venetian Masks & Carnival shoes are extremely intricate and eye catching and each shoe is uniquely padded and cushioned for maximum comfort. Prices from £125. This signature collection has been made in collaboration with renowned Brazilian designer Paulo Ricardo. Ricardo is extremely popular in the United States and is becoming increasingly recognised on an international basis.
