Miss-En-Scene - Shoes by Coq.Luxe

Sara Rochas and Ines Golcalves are sisters and the designers behind Coq.Luxe, a new Portuguese brand of shoes. Coq.Luxe started as a conversation between the two sisters at the table of a cafe, from where it jumped to the red carpet, as they say, referring to the Storytailors fashion show in Paris, last January. For this event they created exclusive shoes.

Coq.Luxe was born mainly because, shoe addicts as they are, they need to find a solution for a very serious problem. Sara and Ines needed to know how they could manage their salary in order to feed the shoe addiction. The solution was... working with the items that gave them pleasure. So Coq.Luxe was born.

After getting the attention of a factory in the north of Portugal, Helsar, the first collection came to the world, this Spring. It's inspired in the Cinema Divas, the Miss-En-Scene collection presents nine high heels platform pair of shoes.

At this time, the next collection is ready to hit the stores, the second of two Portuguese designers that want to make Coq.Luxe a Five Star brand.

Their website will be up soon at www.coqluxe.com.

Daily Desire: Skull Candy Smokin Buds

So sad news today, my iPod headphones are now officially dead (not even playing with the lead seems to get sound out) so RIP.

Aforest-design

A garden, a note book and a pencil. This is the sky for Sara Lamurias, a fashion designer that from her atelier in Lisbon is sowing her work to the world. She stared in 2003, thinking in the international market. The first experience outside Portugal was in Berlin, in Bless, her star label at the time. She liked the city, but her love for Lisbon was stronger, and she returned home. In her luggage she brought the will to make things. It was on that particular moment that she started Aforest-design.

To show her brand she called the press and stores from around the world. Two stores from London and one from N.Y. where interested. Her initial idea was to launch a product every 3 months, whether it fashion or not. In 2005 she received the invitation to be in Lab, from ModaLisboa. The first fashion show was a Hit, and since then everything has been moving quickly.
