after much extensive coverage on haute couture clothes and jewellery, there is one aspect left to share before we bid farewell to our 'haute couture week': shoes. of course, we did feature some pretty interesting shoes last week but this feature of shoes is in a different league.

| Raymond Massaro |
beautiful shoes are the details that create a distinctive allure and silhouette. this is even more so when they complement haute couture labels. for decades, massaro has been accentuating couturier collections and every season’s shows by creating unique accessories, the perfect final touch to the fashion message that the designers wish to convey.

| Chanel two-tone sandals |
when raymond massaro met gabrielle chanel, she took great pleasure in telling him about the incredible working relationship she had built up with his father. so it was perfectly natural for coco to continue her association with the firm that created her famous two-tone sandals at the end of the 1950s.

| Spring Summer 2010 |
since then, massaro has become the exclusive supplier for chanel haute couture. in the run-up to the fashion shows, a certain intensity fills the workshops: the first sketches arrive from the studios on rue cambon which need to be worked up. and, as for any other customer, a model is created, examined, revised and approved, in this case by karl lagerfeld.the talents of the massaro workshops are sought after by other couture houses and many designers: the order books are filled each season with prestigious names. when the fashion show season is over, the same names send their special customers, knowing they will find the ideal accessory to perfect a suit, a cocktail outfit, an evening gown or wedding gown.
fash'on... BAM!
