Style Icon’s The Fashion Word: Ganor Dominic London
Ganor Dominic London – SS16 ‘Marble’ Collection
Are you ready to push the boundaries a little when it comes to matters of which wardrobe staples to invest in this season? You can keep things classic with an eclectic twist from emerging footwear brand Ganor Dominic London. Having met the creative director behind the brand, Anna, at Novikov’s I Robert Cafe & Restaurant for a press lunch, it can be said with conviction that Ganor Dominic is definitely one brand to watch emerging from a somewhat traditional sentiment that echoes the renaissance era. What appears to be the signature style of the collection is the 3D effect face which can be found on the heels of ‘Hypnos’, ‘Apollo’ and ‘Selene.’ High quality suede and leather are used for a luxury finish, and comfortability. These are vital factors when investing in a pair of shoes that also need to be sufficiently versatile for the day and evening.
There are strong elements within the Ganor Dominic collection associated with the romanticism of Greek art represented by the ‘Gaia’ and ‘Iris’ shoe. What is so fascinating about the brand’s creative direction is its metamorphosis of classic styles like the court shoe and brogue; incorporating a unique print, or a 3D face underneath the sole with a marble effect finish hence the ‘Marble’ motif throughout the collection. If you want to be innovative with your shoe choice, keep your outfit simple with Ganor Dominic and opt for the ‘Chronos’ shoe perhaps with laser cut writing “Take the moment and make it perfect” The collection does just that; taking references from classical music, art, and history and making them perfect in the name of fashion!
Ganor Dominic offers handmade bespoke designs. The logo symbolises a ‘duo’ between two sisters – brand director Katherine and creative director Anna. It is no surprise that after Anna finished a BA Footwear Design degree at The University of the Arts London that she then went on to receive an award for National Footwear Design Student of The Year 2015. The style of Ganor Dominic leaves a lasting impression. Dare to be different and “don’t wait for the perfect moment”
