Patrick Cox

"Patrick Cos is acknowledged as one of the most exciting shoe designers working today. For most people, his name is synonymous with Wannabe, the classic unisex loafer that became a phenomenal best-seller from the moment it arrived on the scene in 1995. Cox himself remarks that "Wannabe says it all" - but in fact the combination of traditional quality and engaging humor which marks out his work has had a far more dramatic impact on the world of shoe design. Cox's customers include Madonna, Elton John, and Sharon Stone, and the lads from Oasis, Pulp, and Blur are all united in their enthusiasm for his styles. Clothes, accessories, and even a limited-edition scooter have all come under Patrick Cox's inspirational design eye. This fascinating book is a vivid insight into the ideas of a designer completely in tune with the contemporary." -- back cover.
