Camilla Skovgaard



The best of hanging around places such as Selfridges or Harvey Nichols often is that you can discover relatively new designers by admiring their designs in person. That is what happened to me with Camilla Skovgaard, a shoe designer born in Denmark and based in London who has started her career at the age of 20 in Dubai.

"Her emphasis is on form, material and style rather than in decoration. The combination of contrasting elements, such as fluidity and severity, restraint and sophistication play an integral part in the character of her design".


Personally I think that the key of her designs is that even the simplest ones are eye-catching. You can't help looking at them. The pure shape of the heel makes them look desiderable even though (or maybe because) the heels are extremely high. At less than 400 hundred euros on net-a-porter, they could be considered a high-class bargain.



Lo mejor de merodear por sitios como Selfridges o Harvey Nichols a menudo es que a veces te puedes encontrar gratas sorpresas. Dise�adores relativamente nuevos que descubres en persona y no a trav�s de las p�ginas de una revista. Es lo que me pas� con Camilla Skovgaard, una dise�adora de zapatos nacida en Dinamarca con sede en Londres que comenz� su carrera a los veinte a�os en Dubai.

"Su �nfasis est� en la forma, el material y el estilo en lugar de en la decoraci�n. La combinaci�n de elementros que contrastan, como fluidez y severidad, limitaci�n y sofisticaci�n, juegan una parte esencial en el car�cter de sus dise�o".

Personalmente creo que el �nfasis de sus dise�os est� en que hasta los m�s simples llaman inevitablemente la atenci�n. No puedes evitar mirarlos. La forma pura de sus tacones llevan a desearlos a pesar de que (o quiz�s porque) los tacones son extremedamente altos. Por menos de 400 euros en net-a-porter, estos zapatos se pueden considerar un chollo de alta gama.
