NICHOLAS KIRKWOOD x KEITH HARING SHOE COLLECTION……

The famed shoe designer said he was inspired by Haring’s work after watching the documentary, The Universe of Keith Haring. He stated, “I couldn’t stop thinking about how amazing and prolific he (Haring) was and how great it would be to incorporate his graphics into my designs. So I ended up approaching the Keith Haring Foundation. I had to really sell them the product, but I think they’re pretty happy with the end result.”
The 12 style collection includes Kirkwood’s first ballerina flat, as well as some daring heels. It’s not available until February 2011, but during London fashion week, Kirkwood will launch an online pop-up shop so fans can buy pieces from his previous collaborations with Rodarte, Erdem, and Peter Pilotto.

DISSMISS loves pop art, loves pop culture, and loves artists like Keith Haring.  Hence, our homage to Keith Haring with our Spring 11 Tank Dress.  EEEEEEK!!!!!!  Can’t wait till this comes in!!

So having pop culture on my feet to strut around in would be LUXURIOUS!

We here at DISSMISS have done numerous posts on shoe finds such as Camilla Skovaard’s Tassel heel booties and Alexander McQueen’s Winged leather booties….. this would just be another pair to save some pennies for…  Yes, we are shoe fiends.
