A friend recommended that I read The Fashion Designer Guide by Mark Charles and I also came across his boot collection. Mr. Charles who is from Harlesden, North West London always loved artistic design and graduated in 2004 with a degree in Graphic Design. After this Mark created his company Orgill-La’Touche, a luxury drinks company and then traveled to Sweden to work with Zuidam distillery. Family obligations brought Charles back to London and while working as a creative recruitment consultant in June 2007 discovered his passion for shoe design. In order to pursue this new course of action he quit his job and began working with a bespoke designer in East London. Traveling to Italy enabled Mark to enhance his shoe knowledge and in 2008 began working on his boot collection. Factory issues which is the enemy of most new shoe designers reared its ugly head and caused the collection to be delayed for nearly two years. Overcoming this problem was not easy and in 2011 the collection was finally launched. After looking at the collection below I hope all of you will want to take a trip to Mark’s World, I am sure it will be an interesting one. Please go to Mr. Charles’s website to order one of these beauties.
