The Sherson Group held its Fall/Winter 2015 Footwear & Handbags Fashion preview entitled, “The Enchanted Forest” at The Gardiner Museum.

We were transported to the world of fantasy and fun while seeing the highlights of their footwear brands Nine West, Charles by Charles David, Bandolino, Anne Klein, Adrienne Vittadini, Mootsies Tootsies, Adrianna Papell, Easy Spirit and William Rast (Justin Timberlake and Trace Ayala’s line).

The footwear & handbags collection were separated into themed vignettes.

The 60’s theme entitled That Girl, had Beatle-style boots, colour blocked prints, and t-straps on the heels.

Willam Rast Footwear was about uniqueness and attitude.

Women’s boots featured fringe, thick heels, pedestrian styles but with a rocker vibe.

The men’s collection (for 2016) was rugged with camel, alpine lace, and colour blocking .

The Nine West jewellery collection showed multi-strands of gold and silver, multi-toned bracelets and necklaces, and classic watches.

To further sweeten the evening, we got to sample the Love Potion cocktail (raspberry sorbet and sprite),
toadstool cupcakes, edible acorns, black forest shortbread cookies and chocolate dipped pretzel bars.
