Objects of Desire
When he started designing, Edmundo Castillo said he wanted to make beautiful and sexy shoes that women not only wanted to wear, but collect. “The beauty of a shoe is in how it transforms a look and instead of just covering the foot, it takes a life of its own and changes people’s personalities and attitudes,” Castillo says.

And on today’s international fashion scene two well-known designer’s shoes have become must-haves: the famous Manolo’s of Tenerife-born Spaniard Manolo Blahnik (made widely and wildly popular by Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw), and the super sexy & super gorgeous designs of Puerto Rican Edmundo Castillo, head designer for Sergio Rossi shoes.
