MMM....SHOOOOES.....

Liberty had a super fun shoe promotion this weekend with events all over the store. (Kate Brindley..how do you do it??)

Downstairs in menswear, Steve Salter interviewed Mr Hare surrounded by an audience of proper shoe afficionados, drinking cocktails and checking out a cheeky preview/pre-order of Mr Hare's SS11 collection. I had a high speed 5 minute catch up with the lovely Susie Bubble..she is literally the busiest girl in town..

You can see what the Mr Hare shoe fuss is all about...love these shots by Marley Lohr...

I spotted Liberty's menswear buyer, Stephen Ayres wearing this rad pair of cork shoes by Opening Ceremony...


Meanwhile up in womenswear all hell was breaking loose: tunes and non-stop banter from DJ Sloanie and his little bro Michael, plus Jonny Woo, Jeanette and Lavinia Co-Op in full drag throwing themselves around the place..literally...

Jonny coaxed shoppers into walk offs with his fiercest sister Jeanette, clad in Giles gown and Louise Gray coat...
Ben from Fridja obeyed Jonny's order to squeeze his feet into too small ladies shoes...
(Jonny told us tranny slang for toe/heel overhang is 'kippers & biscuits'. Thanks for that Jonny!)

When Lavinia wasn't on till duty, she was pretending to shoplift...customers were loving her antics..

..meanwhile Charlie Harrington was loving these gorge Nicholas Kirkwoods...I think she should get them..

Thanks Liberty for a really fun shoe-love-in xx
