Joanna Litton and Puey Quinones at L Manila

September 22nd, 2009

Discovered a new shoe designer while moseying around the Filipino Zone in Greenbelt 5.

Joanna Litton is a young shoe designer whose fully beaded shoes are locally made. Got this info from Lulu Tan-Gan who stocks a few of Joanna’s pieces in L Manila.

These lollipop pumps with cuban heels would look great with a pair of cigarette pants or a 50′s style circle skirt. It reminds me the shoes Audrey Hepburn wore in her movies, never too tall or too flat.

The art deco pattern is so chic. This pair is called “Circus of the Sun.” (P11,099)

Meanwhile, an exact color palette match (in the store) is this jusi paint-splattered vest by Puey Quinones…

…which is an easy piece to throw on over jeans and a singlet and a pair of flats.

Seasonal transitions can make most of us a bit confused wardrobe-wise. Sometimes it’s nice to take a break from pushing fashion limits and stick to a no-fail formula of chic basics + one statement piece.

Isha.
