London's Kimiko Red Shows the Leather Love

By Kimberly

A mammoth London shopping excursion this weekend turned up a promising new label to obsess over: Kimiko Red. Designer Kim Heidi Lewis, owner of the recently opened vintage designer boutique King & Queen of Bethnal Green, creates amazing limited-edition leather pieces that can be made to order. Think buttery-soft leather jackets with dramatic shoulders, fierce lizard-skin ankle boots, and a fetching brown leather vest that would work fabulously over a tank. PETA may not approve, but we think every modern gal could do with some leather in her wardrobe. And what’s better than having a one-of-a-kind piece that nobody else can get their hands on? We say: nothing.
