Couture shoemaker Mai Lamore

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a relaxing weekend...To kick off the week I have some beautiful shoes by couture shoe designer Mai Lamore. Mai lives in Paris and has the most exotic pedigree.She was raised in the Central African Republic on a coffee plantation, where she studied the classics ( Mozart, Wagner) before going off to France to complete her studies.There she entered the world of fashion and voila! she's now famous with designs that command upwards of $20,000 . For one pair of shoes..Incredible.

Ladies were so much more elegant back in the 50's and 60's.I love the silhouette of an oversized top,  uber small waist and  pencil skirt. And gloves.....I just love the formality of  long white gloves with an evening gown or short dainty ones with a chic suit. All images from My Vintage Vogue flickr pool.
