Fashion designers and accessories designers often collaborate on collections. So, it's no wonder that one of the world's most in-demand, UK-based shoe designers would be popping up on the runway at London Fashion Week. Nicholas Kirkwood for Erdem showed extremely wearable high-heeled ankle boots with impressionistic, multi-hued prints.
Kirkwood has also collaborated on a wildly successful line of shoes with US design team Rodarte. The only similarity between Nicholas Kirkwood for Erdem's collaboration and Rodarte's is that both lines will go into production and be available for purchase, which is not the norm for runway shoe collaborations.
