There are so many good fashion blogs out there these days. And I was very happy to see that one of them – Market Publique – who blogs about vintage clothing – have featured my shoe designs for Aldo.

The reason? Well, I bought some lovely shoes from Market Publique’s shop (called Cherry Tomato vintage) on Etsy.

What’s Etsy? Etsy is a wonderful online space to buy and sell all things hand made. I am in love with it!

Talking of the shoes I did for Aldo and the power of blogs. Market Publique spotted that they were used by Renata Morales – a Montreal designer – for her Spring 2009 Runway Show. Very exciting!

But on a personal level I am excited as I designed these sandals. It’s great to see your work get recognition and its great to be associated with such a cool brand as Where, which is genuinely ethical. The founder of Where who came to my final year Cordwainers exhibition, was interested in my ethical collection and my design work.

Topshop has for a while now had a buyer only for Fair Trade products, and in clothing had stocked products from People Tree some time ago already.

But this broadens the scope of the amount of ethical fashion on the high street even more which is fantastic.

Where not only uses eco friendly materials but also produces in communities in a equitable and sustainable way.

The Shoewawa blog also covered the Where sandals, as did the Evening Standard.
