by JULIA
A bottle of Champagne from on a dress I made! haha Seems appropriate for our Happy Anniversary! Wow, I really cannot believe it has already been one year since the launch of shoebizness.com.

At WSA I met Sheena and then in…

Les Arts Vivants

I am sharing this with you because I am asking your forgiveness in advance if I am not as prompt with my postings. This show is an amazing opp…
A Party About Shoes = Fun!
by JULIA
If you are in Miami and love to show of your shoes, you should join me at Q Lounge in Aventura on NOV 14th! Check out the email that Agustina from KOA PR sent me below. Hi Julia, The idea for the event was sparked when my friend Tami (@TamiFromMiami) and I were gushing about our new shoes. We decided to have an event where locals can come show off their sexy shoes – both man and women. I’ll be taking pictures o…
Miami Fashion Week – Mariano Lumbi and Sergio Zelcer
by JULIA
Mariano Lumbi is another emerging designer who presented at the Bass Meusum on South Beach as part of Funkshion Fashion Week. His designs are fun, interesting and I just loved what I saw. He partnered with our friends at Sergio Zelcer for his shoes and of course they looked great! This past fashion week was so much fun! I saw a lot of really interesting and creative shows. For me the runway is a stage to present creativit…
My Other LOVE-Art on People
by JULIA
Doing a little touch up on the street. I thought I would share my little side passion which as a lot of you know is fashion/art related. I love to paint and decided I wanted to try it out on a model for a fun impromtu photo-shoot with friends. I have been really inspired lately by a friend of mine, Tomas Loewy who goes out to Burning Man every year and captures all sorts of crazy art through his photography. For those of you w…
Sergio Zelcer-Swimwear Show

Mika literally to walk in Michael Jackson’s shoes – watch video
by Julie Gautier-Prado
Click on the Image to Watch the VIDEO! After Michael’s death we thought nobody could ever fill Michael Jackson’s shoes – but apparently Mika will ! And this is why: Michael had hired Mika’s good friend Christian Louboutin to design the shoes for his This Is It concerts, and after Mickael’s sudden death, Mika ended up with the shoe, including the ones he was due to moonwalk in onstage…
