Metallic Androgynous Oxford Platforms

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Emily Shoe Mixes Menswear with Feminine Glamour

— February 3, 2014 — Fashion
The boys were brought to yard in the making of the Emily Shoe, but were quickly kicked out after robbing them of their androgynous design.

This uniquely unisex piece of footwear fuses menswear designs with girl power glamour. Designed by British brand Grenson, these hot and shiny pieces of funky footwear are modeled after a basic oxford for men with soft calf skin leather, a white wedge sole and classic brogue detailing. When first manufactured, this stunning shoe came in soft neutral tones but after much fan mail and deliberation, the company finally released an entire set of these shoes in magnificent metallic hues of blue and silver.

The Emily Shoe is a shoe proving that it may be a man's world but it would be nothing without a woman or a girl.
