There are two things that Green Black Dress and LLXLLQ  shoes have in common that make them unique.

1)  Both brands provide fashion with a purpose

Green Black Dress is an eco-friendly line clothing line contributing to the creation of a sustainable fashion industry – coco chanel style.

LLXLLQ provides size 10-12 Italian handmade shoes – stylish, comfortable, and quality shoes in sizes previously very difficult to find.

2) Both designers come from an entrepreneurial drive

Both designers, Anna Lindell and Lucia Lucka Klansek, clearly have the eye and talent for design. However, the creation of both of their lines came from a need to solve a problem and make a difference, which called their entrepreneurial spirits.

We find ourselves grateful and inspired for those two reasons alone, to have the pleasure to work with Green Black Dress and LLXLLQ and their founders. Below you can see the live stream from the showcase at the Vancouver Fashion Week 2013.

Enjoy,

Johanna

  Every marketing girl’s biggest dream recently came true at our office – our new client is a shoe brand! Not only are they stylish and offers high quality – they also serve a niche market of women that have been neglected both beautiful and comfortable shoes in their sizes.

We’re all very excited to promote and work with LLXLLQ, which is a new shoe brand with it’s own online store, www.llxllq.com, offering fashionable, Italian-crafted women’s shoes sized 10-12. The launch collection of 48 unique models are made by the same manufacturers that have created shoes for brands such as Prada, Gucci and Versace.

Founder and designer Lucia Lucka Klansek, who herself wears size 12 shoes, had struggled her whole life to find both beautiful and comfortable shoes in her size. Discovering that it was nearly impossible to find a wide selection of fashionable footwear in one place, she was inspired to travel to Italy—the Mecca of high quality and well-designed shoes—to find a solution to her problem and help other women in her situation. It is Lucia’s goal to make her shoes widely available to women all over the world.

Lucia, a beautiful woman who is often mistaken for Meryl Streep, comes from a family of entrepreneurs and has started successful companies, such as Nektar and E4B, in both the US and her home country Slovenia. LLXLLQ is her newest venture and stands for the following:

Seven shoe models in the launch collection are designed by Daniele Ancarani, and made in Spain. Daniele Ancarani is an Italian women’s shoe designer, famous for his blend of sophisticated simplicity and fundamental balance. He has several boutiques in Italy carrying his own brand of gorgeous shoes.

The other day the Herringbone team went to the LLXLLQ storage in Palo Alto to check out the summer 2012 collection consisting of flats, heels, and sandals. For a size 7½ girl like me it was rather shoe hell than heaven to be surrounded by so many beautiful and chic shoes and not be able to try them on. Johanna, a proud size 10, confirms that they are not only pleasing to the eye but comfortable. “Wow, anyone who gets the chance to try these shoes on will be a lifetime customer” said Johanna and left with a pair of “Mai” in bright orange – the top trend color of summer 2012. If you want to be as fashionable as her, get yours here.

To celebrate the launch and honor women with larger feet LLXLLQ is offering 20% off on all shoes. Don’t wait too long to give yourself a beautiful summer treat – the offer is only valid until the end of August 2012. Use the promo code SUMMER12 at checkout. Did I mention that shipping within the US is free?

Ladies, Stand Tall, in Style!
