My shoes...




...are a bit special. I like to wear open shoes. Why? Because they are great to wear, they are comfortable, and they do not 'cut' the look: the leg continues visually into the foot. So called ballet flats are my favourites. This kind of ancient footwear was once worn mainly by males. Nowadays, few men are wearing them. But I am one of them. With or without straps or ribbons, with a huge platform or no platform at all, bright coloured, white or simply black, glossy or matte...

The ones on the photos are my favourites at the moment. I like the male look, the very high platform (10 cm). They are great to wear with white tights, because inside they're also white.


 

Red!



Me in my 17th century woodworkshop, but not in the clothes I wear when working there ;). On the superb photos of french photographer Gabrielle Anna I am wearing bright red tights, very high platform ballet flats with a large ankle strap (Angelic Imprint), shorts (Katia le Dreff), a black bodystocking (to keep the tights in place, once used to wear them, it's very comfortable. But few men wear them. Mines are male versions especially made for me by an Etsy seller), a bright red pull, and a black kind of t-shirt created by Katia le Dreff.
