DESIGNER ANNIE ABBOTT







“Shoes are very sculptural and so I think the 3D aspect to a shoe shape really fascinates me,” says Habbot founder and designer Annie Abbott. “More specifically I get very focused on the toe shape, and second to that, the heel.

COSTUME DESIGNER CHRISTIAN JOY







The world of Christian Joyis reminiscent of old school New York in many ways.

Christian also has the same underground vibe to her work. She revels in creating fanastical costumes that aren't about finding a market but rather...
