I'm aware
the subject matter is flitting around all over the place on the blog at the
moment. I hope you're enjoying seeing all the things I am into, kinda too bad
if you’re not! So from Photography and
Music we now take a hand brake turn to art... and shoes.
Well this is me, you knew they’d be cropping up here somewhere soon, right?
As it's Cambridge Art Fair the window of Modish Shoes in Green Street has an
artist’s studio window display. Roof Brown (of 10:AM Design studio, and designer for Homestuff with History, another great find on the same road), designed the concept
around a Tess Recordon painting which makes the focus of the display. And its Ruth’s attention to detail that really transforms an independent shoe shop
window into an art instillation. From the monogrammed shop name on the giant
pencils to the table, which is actually a larger than life painter’s
palette, the details make this display really stand out.
Modish
Shoes, owned by Sarah Decent, advise they road-test every single pair of shoes
they sell - now that sounds like a job I was born for, let me know if you're looking for any new testers Sarah. They've also
been recommended by The Guardian as one of the Top 100 Shoe shops in the UK and
sell well known brands like Fly London and Calvin Klein.
Sadly the
large painting in the window isn't for sale, but Sarah has an array of prints and greeting cards that are available
by the same artist. The display and cards will be around to pursue and purchase until
next Sunday. Just one more reason to take a stroll down Green Street, one of
our coolest roads for independent interior design and style.
Have you
seen any interesting window displays recently?
