Striding in style

After years of subtlety, this year is exploding with bright colours, fun silhouettes, and in-your-face accessories. This is particularly true for footwear. From embellished wedges to perspex heels to colour-blocked Mary Janes and French toe-caps, the 'art' in 'artisan' is back and how.

And now say hello to Kobi Levi. This Jewish genius graduated from Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem, in 2001, and had since turned his creative attention to his women's footwear line in Tel Aviv.

Levi's shoes epitomize the term 'wearable art'. Drawing inspiration from everyday objects and themes that one would never associate with shoes, he translates the essence of the object into footwear to create wearable sculpture pieces that have their own personality separate from that of the wearer.

The painstakingly hand-crafted shoes have rightfully been displayed in museums and expos around the world, firing up the imagination of the hundreds that flocked to marvel at the wild and wacky creations. One thing's for sure - owning one would be a sure-fire conversation starter.

It's been a while since we've done a Style.This, so this one is long overdue. Since this section will be featuring one outfit per post from now on, we decided to give it a make-over and bring you the scoop in one compact post. This bright and bold look transitions easily from day to night with a change of make-up and maybe hairstyle.
You'll be rocking several trends at once in this outfit: bright tangerine, bold prints, classic white, and funky wedge heels. Usually it's advisable to stick to one key trend, but if you can actually pull off a combo, why not go for it?

This outfit features a white waterfall crop jacket, a Fluro stappy-back vest, and Hawaiian print skinny trousers, all from Topshop, platform wedge heels by Michael Kors, Saffiano tote bag from Prada, assorted Bounkit thin cuffs, and Gojane earrings.
