Museum Debut Snippet for non exclusive members

Milly J : Posted on 12 December 2012 17:13

Dear Milly J Peepers This is not another shoe reveal, but sharing the wonderful evening had for the museum launch. Milly J's Shoes has been going for just a year now, and so it was an honour to be invited by one of the world's top 2 shoe museums, Northampton Art Gallery and and Shoe Museum to exhibit some of my shoes. The museum houses many a shoe by the likes of the shoe greats, including, Westwood, Kobi Levi, Louboutin and many more.


The exhibition kicked off on the 20th November and was opened by all round good guy and an avid Milly J's Shoes supporter, Bret

The museum was handed their very own Milly J sculptural shoe for their very own museum collection, the Tap Shoe. Do please keep a look out for this spectacular shoe in your exclusive email updates. If you find the time, the museum runs until the 06th January 2013. In the meantime, please enjoy a selection of pictures of my shoes on display. Pictures courtesy of Adam Hobden.

Dear Milly J Peepers!
 
Likened to Louboutin and Grayson Perry, I am in the industry know as, The Shoe Artist
 
 
It has all been rather exciting in the Milly J studio recently. So much news to reveal and so much news yet to be revealed. Yesterday however saw my twitter followers soar and my phone ring off the hook! For it was indeed the appearance of notorious celebrity, Jodie Marsh on ITV This Morning today wearing a beautiful dress from topshop, and her very own Milly J's Shoes!
 
Muscling in for a cup of tea
 
Thousands watched as Jodie Marsh chatted openly about her struggles with bullying and her recent body building endeavours. Though it has to be said that both Phil and Holly the presenters couldn't keep glimpsing at the obviously outlandish shoes! Though Jodie needless to say more than pulled them off. Shining away with hand painted ceramics and towering on 5 inch heels! A sight to behold. She was later paparazz-ied outside the ITV studios by big bad pap, Darren! Causing a stir. MTV style has now written an article, as has the Daily mail and The Sun. More to come, as both Jodie Marsh and others want to get their hands on the next Milly J's Shoe. Catch you soon... Milly J x

Milly J's Shoe Poem - Shlog Time!

Milly J: Posted on 02 February 2012 12:47
Milly J's Shoe Designs Poem
 
 
We all know that people will plot for a shoe, they'll scrimp and they'll save for that magnificent two. Though what happens when that shoe is produced into art, made just for you and will enamour your heart? Look past the Shoe that is used for your feet, that functional pair within that boutique. Look past the shoe so flat and so tame, the pair that is purely for practical gain. I have a persuasion so viciously keen, displays for events that are fit for a queen. Branding or weddings or shop window displays, to mark your occasion in unusual ways. Hand made from scratch and imagined by me, sculptural displays at a personalised fee. Shoe bouquets for events filled with flowers galore, on top of tall plinths or lined stylishly on the floor. Shoe displays with your labels, so skilfully made. A memorable treat to rent or be paid. Or that exceptional gift made just for her, that personalised feel for her delicate lure. Look past a shoe as being just that, for I see a Shoe as a means for a chat. A canvas for me, as is paper and pride. That specially created theme with your guide. Shoes with real wings and birds of great flight, creations infused, a shoe as a light? Newborn designs that look like a buggy, you can advertise right here for your new range of Huggies. If art mimics life and life mimics art, allow my creations to woo from the start. For Milly J's Shoes goes beyond and above, The brand brought to you that has been formed with love. Milly J

Are YOU Well Heeled?

Milly J: Posted on 24 January 2012 17:25
It's one of my favourite times again - Shlog time, as I get to talk about what make Milly J's Shoe Designs tick! So once again... welcome. It is important to mention firstly that Milly J has updated one of the most believed policies to the business: Milly J never compromises class, execution, detail, playfulness and quality for a cheap price that may sell quickly. Milly J's Shoes believes in living the art through unanticipated creativity. It is so important to believe in the value of your product, especially if you sell and make it yourself. When looking through other arts shops and boutiques, you often notice the amount of competition means that people are vying for the spotlight through sales. This is often created by low pricing. However, pricing is so important. Milly J's stock is always well presented, executed, created and packaged, and so my price must refelct my market and beliefs. If you don't price correctly, you wont reach your target market and therefore resulting in less sales. Just chill, take a deep breath and think about your pricing properly to ho it reflects your personal factors.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
keep calm with Milly J's Shoe Designs
 
Oh, before I forget... have you viewed the wonderful new shoes? As promised, I am going to tell you a little about them.
 
 
The Quills Edition
 
This shoe was my first attempt at using the art of quilling for sculptural purposes. Often quilling is used as a flat surface, as a picture. Though I knew that there were so many opportunities to create something that was fragile in the sense of paper strips though robust in its formation. I wanted to enfuse paper with glass and fabric, to give a sense of the elements. From water to wood to earth. So please enjoy this sculpture with a sense of fun and perhaps see paper in another light.

The Liquorice of Sorts Edition
 
 
I take great enjoyment in creating all my designs. Though this sculpture was so much fun, as it took me swiftly back to my childhood. Snacking on Liquorice Allsorts whilst visiting my Grandma's. I was thrilled to create handmade clay sweets that I would topple precariously on top of each other. One of my oldest friends whom I went to boarding school with relished herself in these fun sweets. In our dormitory she would sit on her bed and hold onto every last one as if I was eyeing them up. She later told me that when she was at Uni, she was dieting and knew she had to have a certain number of colories. She knew exactly how many calories where in each allsort. So what did she do? You guessed it. So this shoe has been dedictaed to my kooky friend Haley!

Milly J's Shlog Time

Milly J: Posted on 20 January 2012 17:24
Hello Lovelies... It is that time again. Shlog time. It was once called Blog time. However, knowing the husky toned, well heeled, creative merriment of the fans, Shlog seems more fitting. Think Scandinavian chic ... blog sounds too... blah. Many updates have taken place since last time. From new shoes to meetings to exhibitions on the move. I will keep you guessing as to what you may think the next designs to be shown will be. Though for now, I will tell you a little discussion I had with a fellow artist in America. Her name is 2cowgirls. well, actually it's Cynthia, but 2cowgirls fits her rodeo style mosaic art... beautiful pieces. She wanted to get to know me which was very generous of her. Though she also wanted to understand my way of designing and creating. She wanted to know what I use, how I preserve the work. She told me that she had a pair of cowgirl boots she wanted to mosaic and use as a gift for someone who had sentimentality towards them. I thought hmm. However, in this industry, you cannot be selfish, but at the same time you want to be able have your own print on creations. It is like any art form. So I told her:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
all I can actually say and I genuinely say this from my heart and experience. YOU are an artist. You have you own way, skills and knowledge of doing things. Every artist is different, every artist must learn and every artist must try. Try in your own way. If it doesn't work, well at least you tried it.
 
I tentatively await her curses!
 
 
Until Next Time... Are You Well Heeled?
