There’s a reason that Nicholas Kirkwood is so beloved by people in the fashion industry – he’s incredibly good at what he does. Creative, luxurious, modern; his shoes tick all the right boxes and look like nothing else on the market. (Except all the designers rushing to imitate him, of course, but they’re mostly not doing a very good job of it.) When you combine his shoes with Moda Operandi’s eye for the quirky side of luxury, you get a match made in shoe heaven. Read More…
January Jones struck a perfect balance between “Chaos and Couture” (the chosen theme of the 2013 Met Gala) by wearing dramatic Nicholas Kirkwood Studded Tartan Peep Toe Booties and a black sequined Chanel minidress to the event Monday night. These Nicholas Kirkwoods are actually exclusive to Moda Operandi’s punk boutique, and coincidentally, Moda Operandi was a sponsor of this year’s event. Read More…
As much as I love weird shoes and crazy prints, I’ll never love anything as much as I love black. Even when I was a little kid, I asked my mom to get me the black Keds instead of the white ones everyone else in class had, and I’ve scarcely stopped buying black shoes since. Naturally, I was thrilled to see that Nicholas Kirkwood Fall 2013 contains plenty of dark-and-lovely options alongside the designer’s signature bright modernism. Read More…
Today, I am going to be short, sweet, and to the point when I say: A.) I am loving these Nicholas Kirkwood Ruffled-Trimmed Suede Pumps B.) I am a BIG Nicholas Kirkwood fan, and C.) I am obsessed with black pumps. So of course, when I stumbled upon these shoes, I had yet another jaw-dropping moment. (This tends to happen to me a lot when I browse shoe sites.) What I like about this Kirkwood pump is that it has an ostentatious quality, but it still keeps things chic. Read More…
Was that a Leanne Rimes song I just referenced? I think it was. I apologize for that. It’s for a good cause, though: blue is awesome and we should all wear more of it in all of its beautiful shades. Since we’re in the shoe business here, we recommend that you add more blue with shoes – maybe even blue suede shoes. Read More…
Nicholas Kirkwood gets a little crazy from time to time, and we (the Royal “We.” “We” when it really means “I.”) love him for it. Huge fashion houses like Fendi, who had Kirkwood design its Spring 2013 runway shoes, apparently also love him for it. Kirkwood still does what seemingly amounts to a dozen other collaborations a year, many of them with small brands, and his runway shoes for Erdem have always been my favorites. Read More…
As you all know, I’m a huge fan of Nicholas Kirkwood and more or less everything he does. The details of his work are some of the most meticulous in the industry, and not only does he design a great avant-garde shoe, but his basics are pristine as well. With that in mind, the Nicholas Kirkwood Rabbit-Lined Feather and Suede Boots are like the exception that proves the rule – a design I hate that reminds me how much I love all of Kirkwood’s other shoes.

Unlike most other shoe designers (except for maybe the best of Christian Louboutin and Charlotte Olympia on a very good day), I feel as though I can sit and look at a pair of Nicholas Kirkwood shoes for hours. Kirkwood’s design work is detailed, modern and, at least to me, utterly fascinating. Even in most of his simplest shoes, he finds a way to take something I expected to see and change it just enough to make me stare. Read More…
