Naughty, thieving Mr Park

I do love a bizarre shoe thievery story:
''A second hand shoe shop owner stole more than a thousand pairs of designer shoes by posing as a mourner in Korea.
His haul of more than 1,200 shoes were displayed by police today in Seoul in the hope that their owners can retrieve them.
The 59-year-old thief, named only as 'Mr Park' had literally walked off with his booty from funeral homes and hospitals across the capital.''

Best news I've heard all month!

Jewellery designer Lara Bohinc is going to launch a shoe line. Wooohoo!

I love Lara Bohinc, lots - right back from when she designed under the name Lara Boeing 747 (Boeing objected to her then brand name heh).

I have one of her bags, gorgeous gunmetal clutch with a chrome stamped metal clasp.

So this is great, the line will be launched for Spring 2010, I'm really, really, hoping that this will be shown at Micam http://www.micamonline.com/ so I can have a sneak preview.

Another jewellery designer I'd like to see going into shoes is Pauric Sweeney. I've been a fan of his designs for a long time, in fact since he sold transparent chokers with fake prosacs in them to ravers on his stall at Portobello market. Do you remember them, Pauric? I do!
