Leather and Rock'n' Roll

I met Alain a few years ago for the first time after I bumped into him on LUISAVIAROMA.com. I just fell in love with his style: the perfect balance of grunge and elegance that I had been looking for in ages! Simple and structured shapes with a very "organic" touch given by the clean cut of the leather and the wooden heels.
When I first met him of course I wouldn't have imagined him differently: long hair, skinny jeans, over sized Tee. An obvious inspiration from the Rock icons was perceivable miles away: Axel Rose, Mike Tyler, Mick,..even Brian Warner in some ways.

It was with great pleasure that I finally found a well built website at www.alainquilici.com: I know the brand is nothing but ready for a global success! And once more I had my usual "shoecrush"; Alain collaborated with two other very inspirational designers and the result is just fab (the David Koma red sandal appeared on Grazia here in the UK ).
Check out by yourself!

And yes...I know you must be curious about Natalia at this stage (I was) and if like me you are a Rock addict who thinks the 80s and 90s will never be outdated then you will love this:

  1. Wonderful shoes; too bad the heels are always so high. But maybe they woudn't have that magnificent look if they were lower
