You know my name - FIFTH AVENUE SHOE REPAIR now renamed V AVE Shoe Repair - Autumn / Winter motifs on GoSee

‘A rhythm between space, architecture and sculptures, like the irregular, flowing idiom of the baroque era. Minimalist exploration of materials, rubber, steel, aluminium and various types of plastic in a non-figurative expression.’

. . . to quote the creative minds on the issue of their inspiration(s) for the upcoming autumn/winter collection under a new name after six years in the business as FIFTH AVENUE SHOE REPAIR.

Yet, colour still doesn’t seem to be quite their thing. A quote on the matter from the press release: ‘Autumn 11 manifests our archetypes – all in luxurious materials and details with treated, washed and dyed surfaces creating a sense of destroyed beauty and understated luxury. Searching deep into different shades of black, grey, beige and white building a monochrome world of subtle nuances.’

Some might find it depressing – we think it is incredibly exciting.

The couture collection by the creative Swedes, known as BY THE NO now operates as V AVE SHOW REPAIR ATELIER.

As such, the customers are ensured that they are acquiring not only a piece but also the know-how behind the couture collection of V AVE Shoe Repair.

Although only available to order so far, the ATELIER prices for A/W will soon be available at selected retailers worldwide soon, and rightfully so!
