Rains 

It all started with a basic poncho. But a season later, rainwear fashion brand, Rains, launched a full collection of waterproof apparel, which included bags and accessories. Headquartered in Denmark, a Scandinavian undertone of simplicity is constant in their aesthetic, with their collections provide a unique blend of revitalized designs and original rainwear solutions. All designed to withstand the stormiest of weather. Oh, and they’re also undeniably cool.

Nodaleto

Julia Toledano of Nodaleto is clearly inspired by ’70s aesthetics. Known for her iconic footwear, her boots were well received during Paris FW19 fashion week, making her brand well sought after. Based between Paris and Los Angeles, her studio sources its materials from Venice. The leathers are varnished, aged, and the architectural lines voluntarily anchored.

“Nodaleto is the result of what I am, the aesthetic I like, what I was dreaming of wearing as a shoe addict,” said Toledano in an interview with Flaunt. “My family heritage inspired the brand itself in a global aspect. Andalusia inspired the color of the brand, Tangerine, which I used in patent leather in my collection… between red and orange, love and happiness. For the minimalism aspect of the shoes, I like quality fabrics and architectural lines.”

ChattyFeet

Who says your feet don’t deserve to take part in the action? The ChattyFeet brand promises you some serious fun with its cheeky socks, designed to have their own personality. Because who wouldn’t want to own a pair of Sockfathers or David Sock-Knees? Created by designers all over the globe, each pair is produced in Europe from combed cotton, with the aim to inject more fun into your shoes.

After initially going to law school in Paris and receiving a master’s in fashion journalism, she soon became obsessed with the idea of starting her own brand. “So I start doing some research of what I wanted… the name, the aesthetic, the line, etc…” she recalled. “And then decided to go to London College of Fashion to take classes on technical shoe aspects. I went to Italy to visit factories, then came back to Paris and started one year ago– the beginning of everything.”

Now, together with Olivier Leone, her dream became a reality, with her baby becoming one of the most noticed brands of Paris FW19 fashion week. Based between Paris and Los Angeles, her studio sources its materials from Venice. The leathers are varnished, aged, and the architectural lines voluntarily anchored. Fuelled by their love for multi-artistic mediums, Nodaleto emerges as a creative label that goes beyond shoes, a gentle exuberance inspired by the iconography and architecture of the 70s.

This creative artist is using her talent to hand-paint custom shoes and artworks with pet portraits on them.

“As an animal lover and vegan, I have a passion for painting animals. One of my most popular requests is pet portrait shoes. Every pair of shoes is individually commissioned and has a special meaning to the wearer,” Claire Marie said to Bored Panda.

“Each portrait is painted freehand with great detail working from life or from photographs. They have either been painted to remember a pet that has passed on or as a gift for a pet lover.”

You must admit that any pet owner would be thrilled to own a pair of these remarkable shoes.
