    EquinoxPart two of the Peruvian installment, this pair of espadrilles are a bit more refined than their older sisters.

    The brief was simple – sun and moon – so I kept the design simple, too. A pair of natural espadrilles, in which the canvas itself acts as a blanket of cloud. Occasionally, poking through the cloud cover, are glimpses of a clear sky – a big bright sun burning one on shoe, and a crescent moon glittering amongst the stars on another.

    Once again, I deliberately left large areas of the canvas blank, in order to keep the feel of the shoes as soft and light as possible – they are espadrilles, after all – so the end result is a compromise between design and form… which sounds pretty sophisticated for a pair of espadrilles, doesn’t it?
