The February 2010 Issue of Footwear Plus

Victor Victoria

Throwback classics and thrift store finds blend masculinity with a vintage primness.

Portraits of Anna

Collage, sculpture, sketches and PIGMENT inspire Fall’s most genius works, capturing the beauty AND FUNCTION of the female form and the artistry of creation.

Members Only
