In 2006, Long time fashion executive Ruthie Davis (helmed design reigns at Reebok, Tommy Hilfiger and Ugg Australia) introduced her own brand of handcrafted Italian-made shoes under the name Davis by Ruthie Davis. The collection is a high-style/high tech merging of the designer’s personal style - referencing architecture, modernism, and future technology with a lifelong love for 1960s Italian cinema and the larger than life heroines of childhood comic books. Her shoes are innovative in form, function and materials and always radiate a sexy elegance. —(from Designer’s Online Bio)
Editor’s Note: Davis’s Fall 2009 Collection finds the designer capturing the spirit of a fierce bionic woman. The shoe names which include Odyssey, Ice, Pluto, Spacecraft and Bionic (of course) are the perfect mix of a furturistic sensibility and a wearable design for today. Not quite a space oddity more like a commodity. -J. Dwayne Joseph
