let your shoes steal the spotlight ... says designer Tabitha Simmons of The Red Shoes, , the 1948 film by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger ‘I love this film because it’s an oldfashioned romance with a tragic ending, but is visually beautiful at the same time. And of course, it’s about shoes! I first saw it when I was styling and absolutely loved Moira Shearer’s dance scene with all the newspapers flying around as she’s wearing the red ballet shoes. I have always enjoyed watching visually aesthetic movies and the characters have always influenced my style and work.’
