With hints of summer creeping up, it’s that time when we throw open the wardrobe doors to reassess our warm weather wear. If we take a peek at European summer footwear fashions, the gladiator sandal is back, in earthy browns, solids black and fun metallics. Putting a new twist on the traditional gladiator sandal style is Scorah Pattullo, a London based collaboration between Danish designer Rikke Hjelde and UK shoe retailer Frances Scorah. In their third collaboration with UK fashion designer Marios Schwab, the three have come together to produce some new spring/summer designs, which includes a shoe that pushes the boundaries of traditional gladiator sandals. By adding an 11-cm heel, a peep toe and a cut-out silhouette with four delicate straps, the shoes were premiered on almost every model in Marios’ spring/summer catwalk collection. Fashionistas will be glad to hear that the well-loved Brisbane shoe boutique, Beth and Lou, stocks a collection from Scorah Pattullo in its new Fortitude Valley store. Relocated from its Ashgrove boutique, Beth and Lou are sharing their new space with Nova Collection on Ann Street. For those not looking for an 11-cm heel, there is a huge selection of stylish sandals and ballet flats as well as uber chic heels to start off the summer wardrobe.
