If I were to bet on the statement shoe of the season, it would be a Ruthie Davis design. Renowned for bright colors, vivid shapes and a mix of materials, coupled with towering heels and uncompromising quality, The Ruthie Davis Collection stands proudly alone. Conceived in New York and crafted in Italy, “each shoe evolves from a completely independent thought process,” says Davis. The process begins with a watercolor hand-sketch by Davis herself. She brings each sketch to Italy where she meets with a material and component supplier to detail each shoe. While she waits for the samples she heads back to New York to work on new constructions and patterns. After a few weeks she returns to Italy to finalize the design. The result is a collection of shoes that appear impossible to wear, but are “made for sharp women with places to go.”
