Shoes are my all time weakness. It is not that I have a
closet like that of Carrie Bradshaw’s in ‘Sex
and the city’ with a pair of $525 Manolo Blahnik blue shoes sitting pretty in
it, but I do have my own affordable little collection. There is something about
women and their perfect pair of shoes, a kind of love one cannot describe.
Sometimes a pair of good stilettos is all you need as a confidence booster and
for someone standing at 5’2 like me, good shoes are what I run behind!
Madhuri Mamgain understands a woman’s love for shoes. Born
into a family that celebrates the beauty that is a fine pair of shoes, she grew
up watching her father design for his portfolio season after season and a love
story blossomed. It would be proper to say that her Father was her true
inspiration.
Right after graduating from Footwear Design and Development
Institute, she joined Carlton London in March 2011 as a Creative Designer but soon
realized her true calling and quit it in July 2011 to start a label of her own.
A brand, that took her name.
Her first collection called ‘Massif , hand painted ballerinas’ were an instant hit and
rightfully so due to the delicate and intricate designs that she personally
painted on them. Every ballerina had a story to tell and was designed according
to the customer’s preference. Her first export order came soon in February 2012
all the way from Japan and her base slowly expanded to include clients
worldwide
The latest collection is all about providing luxury to your
feet and royalty to your look. Exquisite designs experimented on with Swarovski
crystals, lace, intricate thread work and even velvet, the shoes have a regal
allure attached to them. The designs are exclusive and every pair screams of
the hardwork that went behind its making.
With a dedication like hers, she was rightfully chosen to be
the accessory designer in Anurag Kashyap’s
next movie, set to release on 28th of November 2014. She has even
designed the accessory wardrobe for Anushka
Sharma, Karan Johar, Ranbir Kapoor, Anita Kanwal, Shahnaz Husain and Feng
Shui expert, Gita Kapoor.
Her work cannot be confined to the term ‘fashion’ because it supersedes
all that. It is what you get when pure art meets high end fashion.

DeleteOh ya!!! Short heights do need those heels very badly!!! And I am just 5ft, so I do too crave for that one gorgeous piece...
ReplyDeleteI totally understand!! sigh!
DeleteThis is soo cool!! Checked out her FB page but her website sadly isn't responding!! I'm an avid blog reader and there are hardly any indian blogs that I follow (not counting the food-recipe ones).... Your blog makes me feel I'm living in NY rather than ND :-P I wish you had things to engage readers like Moi from Delhi :-) Cheers!! I hope to lay my hands on a pair by Madhuri soon :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much and welcome to my humble blog. :D
DeleteAh - these shoes sure look good :-)
