His shoes might be devilishly seductive, but Nicholas Kirkwood is a total saint.

Kirkwood studied fine art at Central Saint Martins and shoemaking at the esteemed Cordwainers cobbler program before beginning his life’s work making the illest heels for fashion-forward ladies on both sides of the Atlantic. The British newcomer’s heels have strutted down the runways of Belstaff, Tommy Hilfiger, Basso & Brooke, Doo.Ri and Phillip Lim. His architectural designs have the polished feel of Roger Vivier; his sculptural heels are fast becoming his signature. If you think Christian Louboutin heels are expensive, just wait ’til you see the sticker on these – but these are worth breaking the bank. Available online at SEVEN New York and Browns in the UK.

Consider Nicholas Kirkwood canonized.
