Anticipating the Louis Leeman Paris collections is always a delight, as the luxurious footwear brand never ceases to surprise me. The Spring/Summer S15 line was no different-I entered a room designed as a garden and greenhouse, featuring soil, plants, flowers, and of course, an ever-expanding collection of shoes. A true garden delight!

And spring-ish it was, each sole placed in soil, in spirit of their growing collection, this year having delved into other shoe styles, complete with sneakers, evening shoes, moccasins, slip ons and more. The line was inspired by Peru: Machu Picchu, the Atacama desert, the Amazon and more.

Of course, I adore the detailing they add to the shoes, like studs, chains and even fringe covering soft leather and supple suede fabrics. Our “sneak peek” at the collection didn’t even scratch the surface of what will be a collection filled with over 200 pieces!

BDMOTP favorite: The oxblood suede shoe with studs, and the plaid tweed-esque covered slip on
