Move over Louboutin and Charlotte Olympia cause there is a new kid on the shoe scene and his name is Richard Braqo. Having studied at the Parsons Academy in New York after coming from Ghana at the age of 18, this talented young designer has worked with a number of notable houses like Helmut Lang.
As an award-winning collaborator and prodigy, Braqo and his collection is packed with eye-catching details and some next-level designs. Filled with sky-high stilettos and badass boots, the fall collection plays with the juxtaposition between romantic and gothic aesthetics. One detail myself and other shoe enthusiasts cannot ignore is the speared heel with the pearl accent. Richard Braqo is introducing silhouettes and styles that are jaw-dropping brilliant.
Ladies, be prepared to feel your Pinterest boards and your credit cards burn as the countdown for the Richard Braqo shoe collection begins.
