Insider Trading: Anita Flavin

Move over, Manolo: Ireland’s Anita Flavin has captured our eye with her new range of shoes, handmade by third-generation Italian shoe maker Ennio Mecozzi.

A native ofMarche, Italy, Mecozzi works in the finest leathers and suede while Flavin has 25 years of experience in the shoe industry. I’m a big fan of the metallic Poppy (pictured here – €390) and Blake styles, though the more demure Charlotte and Catherine styles are perfect day-to-night shoes. The Angelina shoe (€420) with metal heel and accessories would make a great purchase for an edgy bride. See enniomecozzi.com.
