Harlow

I have always loved shoes with snake scales. Designing HARLOW with python was a must do as nothing is more glam than greyish python on gold. It was difficult to find the right leather textures with the snake prints I had envisioned in my mind - and no, I do not use real python skin. I use leather textured with python scales. It was also not easy to apply the metal mesh in the loop-like pattern I want on the leather without it breaking here and there - so I had to drop that at the last minute. The end result : fusion of classic lines and modern textures.
