A story of two tales – The Michelle Ludek
Collection
Michelle Ludek
known for delivering stylish silhouettes, flowing fabrics and fashion-forward
designs, announces the launch of her first accessory spin-off: The Michelle
Ludek Shoe Collection. This celebrated South African’s women’s designer will
premiere her new shoe collection with her signature look of wrapping, draping
and flowing fabrics.
The Michelle Ludek Shoe Collection will be available
by order only and just in time for summer, but debuted at the runway show
during Mercedes-Benz Cape Town Fashion Week 2012
SS 12-13 on the 27 July 2012. Designed by Michelle, these hand-made shoes
will be produced by Bennett and co, using only the best finishes and
fabrications.
Michelle Ludek explains “I am passionate about
shoes and wanted to extend my love for shoes to my consumers. My fashion label
is now well-established and has enjoyed tremendous growth over the past four
years – Shoe design seemed like a natural progression for me, so I am very
excited to launch the line at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week this year.”
That’s not to say that her attention has been
taken away from her clothing designs, this year the Michelle Ludek summer collection
intriguingly tells two stories, Michelle says “I have tried to find a balance
between creativity and reality: while each story is unique there is an
uncompromising liaison in each that takes its inspiration from the Art Deco
period.”
Fans can expect tailored pieces, fringing and
striped fabrics, reminiscent of the 1920’s while shots of Tangerines, Cobalt
Blues and a unique colour, “Celery”, that the designer has created &
developed gives the collection a brave, playful and sexy punch.
Impassioned about collaborating with up-coming creative
talents, Michelle has challenged Bridgette de Waal who created all the crochet
and knitted pieces in the collection and Belinda-Lee Ludek with creating
exclusive inspired jewellery pieces to complete this summer collection.
Supporting local fashion, Cameo has supplied all hosiery for the show.

P.S What would Michelle Ludek show be without
those bold, OTT accessories?!! I absolutely love them; they are wild, daring
and out there. Larger than life they should walk their own show!!!
The one piece from this Michelle Ludek show forever
engraved in my mind since then is that oversized suede super exaggerated
fringed clutch bag. MY GAWD are you kidding me, I will have 5 of those on the
rocks to dash please HIT ME!! Above is my top 5 looks from the collection that
