The Loeffler Randall fall 2012 shoe collection has arrived. Boasting an elegant array of new, strong shapes alongside classic silhouettes, the collection has a modern appeal. Grounded natural earth elements (suede, wool and wood) contrast with futuristic mirrored leather and metallic studs. Ladylike favorites, the Quinnie flat and Tamsin pump are covered in exotic skins and vibrant printed haircalf, evoking our inner heroine.

The stand-out shoe this season is our Gerta platform pump (above). According to creative director Jessie Randall, a minimalist approach to shape with a stroke of bright crimson makes Gerta "a wow shoe that truly makes the look."
