Cape Town, 23 July 2012: Michelle Ludek
known for delivering stylish silhouettes, flowing fabrics and fashion-forward
designs, announces the launch of her first accessory spin-off: The Michelle
Ludek Shoe Collection. This celebrated
South African’s women’s designer will premiere her new shoe collection with her
signature look of wrapping, draping and flowing fabrics.
The Michelle Ludek Shoe Collection
will be available by order only and just in time for summer, but was debut at
the runway show during Mercedes-Benz Cape Town Fashion Week on the 27 July
2012. Designed by Michelle, these hand-made shoes will be produced by Bennett and co, using only the best finishes and
fabrications.
Michelle Ludek explains “I am passionate
about shoes and wanted to extend my love for shoes to my consumers. My fashion
label is now well-established and has enjoyed tremendous growth over the past
four years – Shoe design seemed like a natural progression for me, so I am very
excited to launch the line at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week this year.”
That’s not to say that her attention has
been taken away from her clothing designs, this year the Michelle Ludek summer collection
intriguingly tells two stories, Michelle says “I have tried to find a balance between creativity and reality: while each story is unique there is an
uncompromising liaison in each that takes its inspiration from the Art Deco
period.”
Fans can expect tailored pieces, fringing
and striped fabrics, reminiscent of the 1920’s while shots of Tangerines,
Cobalt Blues and a unique colour, “Celery”, that the designer has created &
developed gives the collection a brave, playful and sexy punch.
Impassioned about collaborating with
up-coming creative talents, Michelle has challenged Bridgette de Waal who
created all the crochet and knitted pieces in the collection and Belinda-Lee
Ludek with creating exclusive inspired jewelry pieces to complete this summer
collection. Supporting local fashion, Cameo has supplied all hosiery for the
show.
The Michelle
Ludek summer collection was unveiled to at Mercedes Benz
Cape Town Fashion Week on the 27 July 2012 at 17h00. WOZA – WEAR ONLY SOUTH AFRCAN.
