Sienna Miller wore Strutt Couture's metallic and leather T-strap "Elizabeth" while in Europe.



Who They Are: Strutt Couture is the brainchild of Ian O'Connor who in 2003 set out to create a collection of shoes rich in materials for today's woman, who appreciates luxurious footwear.

What They Do: "Strutt is a state of mind, a culture of design derived from many different sensations and experiences."

Why: “Every woman should own more then just one pair of beautiful shoes.” They deliver unique, exciting footwear designs and true glamour, the ethos of Strutt Couture, which is the driving force behind the company.

Inspiration: For Fall 07, a few ideas reign supreme. Sexy: covered or exaggerated platforms in a fantastic array of colors. Contrast: tweed with patent and rouched suede in feminine shapes. Details: T-straps, apron-style fastenings and clever color combinations.

 Why the Mermaid?: The "S-shaped" mermaid on each heel signifies a true Strutt shoe. The legend goes if a mermaid leaves the water she'll forever walk amongst women. The catch: with Strutt's curvy signature mermaid at your heels, you'll walk a part from the rest.

Biggest Qudos: Sienna Miller and Kate Moss aren't the only Brits wearing Strutt. Adopted Madonna wears them, too.

Season's Best: The Donata and Elizabeth in Black/Gold.

Still Hot: Having the Elizabeth on Sienna has made it an iconic style. It’s been added in additional colorways for fall.

Up Next: With a heavy influence of Japanese culture, the Spring/Summer 08 collection of platforms with wonderful colors, materials and shapes reflects Japanese shoes (geta) and sandals (zori). Heel designs are pure Ninja, taking the essence of the ninja sword and other weapons to create a unique aggressive feel. You will see shapes inspired by origami - clean designs with a modern, mysterious appeal.
