Love: Marcello Toshi shoes

Tonight's the night for Gen Art's 9th Annual Fresh Faces in Fashion L.A. Show, which I sadly will not be attending. At last year's show my favorite discovery was Fancy Pony Land, and - taking a sneak-peek at this year's designer's - my favorite for 2006 shows a very Fancy Pony Land-esque predilection for big color and unabashed girliness. Marcello Toshi, a Peru-based shoe line, creates all its boots and heels without the use of preprocessed materials. Because they're not down with factory production, all shoes are handcrafted - which means it takes three days of work to make one pair. Making our hearts swell bigger with love, all of Marcello Toshi's styles get their names from Peruvian slang words (except for the Babydoll shoe, though that was originally named after the word for "beer").

We very strongly encourage you to drool over the Fall 2006 Marcello Toshi collection, which includes these pretty little things:

Cabayo

Mocasin

Cabayo


Lengua

Chamba

Chola




Gen Art's 9th Annual Fresh Faces in Fashion L.A. Show happens tonight from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.
