Ooh la la – the French really know how to make us fashionista shoe-hoards squeal with delight! Coclico, created by a fourth generation French shoemaker, announced the reopening of the shoe boutique’s flagship in New York City (275 Mott Street) and the much anticipated arrival of their Fall ‘12 collection. The brand unveiled their new autumn assortment and chic space with cocktails, music and hi-heels. The line also includes mouthwatering flats, wedges, demi-wedges, clogs and booties. “Coclico finds beauty in the understated, rugged and intentionally simple.” The brand’s logo of the poppy (“coquelicot” in French) illustrates the company’s savvy designing proficiency – “a simple, elegant, at once hardy, but delicate flower.”

Coclico’s Fall ’12 collection has sent our fashion radar into a complete tizzy. The beautiful, straightforward designs make our heart skip a beat, especially because each style doesn’t come with extra texture or material. The clean lines of each stitch and the smooth-as-cognac color palette of coal, rust, cobalt, plum and honey give Coclico’s newest collection an understated, couture movement that copy-cats will be eyeing for many fashion seasons to come. Of course, our first look was at what Coclico would do with the endurance of the boot and bootie trend. The French shoe maven fulfilled our wildest dreams with their flattering rugged look – we were not disappointed with the Winnie, the Salinger, the Niko, the Adele or the Dakota. And, let’s not forget the Hutton wedge with a full cork wedge covered in leather and the Killian style with a wood demi-wedge that both offer lightness of movement and flexible soles for maximum comfort. When our chic ensembles require to be taken up a notch, we couldn’t keep our hands off the Coclico Ovid and Alia heels in soft, cascading suede. Being a fashion die-hard can be tough, so we are always tickled pink when we come across do-gooders and Coclico is hot on our confidential list. The brand’s shoes are made in accredited tanneries with an emphasis on eco-friendly materials. For more info visit:  http://www.Coclico.com
