BED @ GPO Pictures

With a big thanks to SoBrisbane.com BED is a showcase of fashions by Brisbane’s most chic designers and also international talent, held every Wednesday night for the next fourteen weeks at GPO, with last night’s launch being the most vogue party of the year to date.

Over 700 of Brisbane’s ‘It’ boys and girls filled the GPO’s top floor CODE bar, while hundreds of tea light candles set the scene and created a super smooth and sexy atmosphere for the ridiculously good-looking crowd.

With the wickedly hot fashions just as much casing the crowd, as they were on the catwalk, one didn’t know where to look.

Top male models; Luke Faulkner, Daniel Walker and international model Kent Elliot strutted the catwalk in the latest designs from HUGO BOSS (by Male Manor); Dolce & Gabbana eyewear (by Shades) and glided along in the viciously cool VEIN WEAR shoes.

Resorting to Prada

Resorting to Prada

I think I've been searching the net for shoes for about 2 hours now and I am at the point of despair. I've been checking out most of the large online shoe retailers that sell a variety of brands. I can't believe how many ugly shoes are for sale. Unbelieveable. There must be a lot of old daggy men buying shoes online because that's all that seems to be available.

It is my goal to find interesting brands and beautiful shoes to feature in this blog. But after searching friutlessly for so long and being so tired after watching a disapointing World Cup Final, I am resorting to Prada. Can't go wrong, right?

Actually there were not too many styles in their collection that were awesome. The stand out for me is this black zip boot. There are a couple of things that caught my attention. I love the asymetrical design. It is probably made that way because they can get more shoes per cow hide by cutting it there on the inside. It is still cool.

I also love the brogue detailing. It caps the toe nicely. The picture isn't the greatest. By looking at the grain of the leather you can tell that it is a high grade, but the color in the shot makes it look drained. In reality it a strong polished jet black.

So there you go. Prada. And a steal at only US$749.00. I saw these at www.styledrops.com.
