The Liam Fahy Spring 2013 collection embodies the work of Katherine Hepburn’s The African Queen. The quality of each pair of heels speaks highly of the designer and his work in the luxury footwear industry. Liam Fahy incorporated the idea of a safari-inspired line mixed with the high class idea of colonialism.
The Spring 2013 collection has a mixture of high heels, slipper shoes, flats and sandals. The colors of the collection combine the hues of the African scenery with the mundane nature of the Spring 2013 collections. Surprisingly, the Liam Fahy Spring 2013 line comes from London, United Kingdom and does a seamless job of incorporating beautiful safari ideology into the European-based collection. From mustard hues to rich wine colors, the collection is a great rendition of the 1951 film.
