…………………..Andrea loved GLAMOUR!!…..He loved embellishments! He loved embroideries and designed every one himself. I remember him showing me the sketch of the raffia woven flat with the red poppies, and then seeing the shoe completed! It was incredible [photo second in middle right], and it came out better than I could have ever imagined……..Andrea loved designing all kinds of heels, and he was a master……They not only had to be BEAUTIFUL, but sturdy!….His all over SEQUIN rose pumps [bottom right], were so beautiful, and outstanding with a black dress, and his all over FEATHER pumps above the roses were fabulous…….His wood and glass bead embroidery design on the straw thongs with a tea cup heel was wonderful, and his India inspired wedge with multi strips of gold leather and the TURNED UP TOE like Aladdin’s lamp was pure Andrea……..The JEWEL ENCRUSTED thong, top left, was right out of ancient Rome……I loved his trio of spring shoes with the different SILK FLOWERS…they were romantically enchanting, and women loved them….They sold very well!!……..Andrea’s rich imagination was boundless, and never ceased to amaze me!….I truly do not believe Andrea got the credit he so rightly deserved……..He was and will always be considered a master to me!……I miss him very much
