Remember This Name


This season we all want shoes with a subtle injection of punk attitude to channel our inner rock chic-ness. I was honored to be introduced to a new shoe designer that translates punk-rock-chic beautifully. His name is: Abel Muñoz. Inspired by fashion and a lifetime interest in accessories, Abel studied shoe design at the world renowned ARS Arpel Institute of Shoe and Accessory design in Milan. Upon graduation, he returned to his home base of Toronto to continue to develop his skills as an accessories designer. His handmade collections are influenced by time spent at a number of ateliers in Milan and the artisinal work of shoe designers in the 1930s and 1940s prior to the introduction of worldwide mass industrial production. His current elegant, ladylike collection is made entarily in Italy and focuses on the highest standard of quality materials. The impeccable construction, workmanship and in-depth attention to detail is unparalleled. The 2009 Abel Muñoz collection was showcased at The Bata Shoe Museum on October 17, 2008 to critical acclaim.

Here's a preview of his Spring 2010 creations...


Abel Muñoz Creative Director, 205 Frederick Street, Suite 805, Toronto Canada M5A 4V3. For any inquiries, please send an e-mail to abelmunozaccessories@hotmail.com.

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
