Lets Get 'LOUD' - Kandee Shoes S/S2012 Launch

Today I had the opportunity to sneak a glimpse at the tasty treats Josh Wayman aka Mr Kandee has in store for the Kandee Shoes Spring/Summer 2012 collection.

The Kandee Team and the girls at Can Associates transformed a function suite at one of my favourite hotels in London, The Sanderson into a little sweet shoe heaven.... Giant lollipops and life size liquorice all sorts decorated the room, and there was enough multi-coloured cucumber sandwiches, chocolate lollies and a full size pick 'n' mix stand would have be enough to keep even Augustus Gloop happy (if your a fan of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory like Josh and I you will know what that means!)

The paparazzi were out in force to catch the all important shot of celebrity Kandee fans such as Amy Childs, Kitty Brucknell, Nicola McLean and Harry Derbidge and they were not left disappointed when they all arrived to show their support. I managed to chit chat with Kitty and Amy about their fave shoes from the range plus had a brief catch up with Harry about his new jewellery range for Love Lemonade....

The collection on the whole is fun, vibrant and true to its name... LOUD! I can see it working great in editorials, on fun catwalk shows and going down a storm with young pop starlets in music videos. Due to my seemingly ever increasing age I worry that I will be unable to pull off the new trends coming through, so was happy to see that in this collection Josh has incorporated some flats... I am loving the Ballet pumps and Dirty Lemonade Sneakers with ribbon laces are adorable. However, I haven't given up on the 6 inch heel just yet so also highly recommend checking out 'Pinki', 'Lagoon' and the 'Blue Raspberry Dragee' - all total beauties!

With my last pair of Kandee shoes making their way to shoe heaven after an unfortunate accident involving a cab and too much tequila I was on the look out for replacements so was super happy to find that the 'Peanut Butter Crunchy Bootie' encompasses all that I loved about my old 'Blackberry Crushes' but brings the ever popular trend of animal print into play... perfect for my Spring/Summer wardrobe.... So in my best Veruca Salt voice I scream.... I WANT THEM, AND I WANT THEM NOW!

The new Collection is launched on 1st March 2012 on www.kandeeshoes.com

I want Kandee...

It was late last year when I was first introduced to Kandee shoes. NYE was fast approaching and my search for the ultimate pair of show stopping heels was in crisis.... luckily my friend Charlotte over at Can Associates was on hand and suggested I checked out Kandee's website.

It is beyond me how CEO and Designer Josh Wayman had managed not to have been flagged up on my radar before, but since then I have been following his every step in my 5.5inch 'Blackberry Crush'
boots!... (pictured below)

Wayman has already been dubbed a bit of a maverick in the fashion world. Despite celebs such as Rhianna, Cheryl Cole, Nicola Roberts, Amy Childs and Millie Mackintosh falling at his feet, plus vast media coverage in Vogue, Look and Grazia to name a few, he is still determined to sustain the Kandee shoe 'High Fashion meets High Street' image.

Apparently it is Josh Wayman's childhood obsession with candy which inspires his shoe design and  I hear that the the latest designs are a total Kandeefest, with this season possibly even showcasing a pump and sneakers range too!

Lucky for me, I have received an invitation to the launch party of the Kandee Shoes Spring/Summer 2012 collection, which will take place this Wednesday..!

Although the range wont be launched on line until 1st March, check out my BLOG on the party later this week, I am sure there will be plenty of gossip I can share... until then check out pics below of the previous range and go online at http://kandeeshoes.com to snap up your faves before they become unavailable...
