Shoe and fashion fanatic Carrie Bradshaw would die if she saw the new spring/summer shoe collection by Conspiracy, which has to be one of the most unusual shoe labels I have ever come across, blending design, art and jewelry.

The designer of these shoes, Gianluca Tamburini, was one of the winners of the 8th edition of Who is on Next? last year, which is a fashion scouting project for young talents of fashion Made in Italy. Created and developed by AltaRoma in partnership with Vogue Italia, WION is held to be the Italian platform through which fresh talented designers have a space to network with an esteemed jury of international experts; a jury which includes Mrs. Fraca Sozzani, Director of Vouge Italia, who called Sozzani’s work both “special and unique.”

These sculptural masterpieces do away with the verbal rule that traditional textiles, such as hide, leather and wood are what ought to be used, instead sculpturing his shoes from unusual materials and technologies, such as aeronautical aluminum, titanium and nanoceramic coatings, which are all adorned with precious embroidery, jewels, feathers, wood, spikes or corals. Moreover, all their Italian shoes are handmade, hand-polished, and can be personalized according to your style straight through the Conspiracy’s website.

Each standing on 12-cm heels, these extraordinary shoes are a true work of art, and, if you yearn for exclusive and special shoes such as these (and can pay the price) you will not be disappointed.
