Forward designers who really think don't grow on trees.  There are a handful of designers who would be considered progressive since they don't tap in line with the norm by exploring themes of shape and texture together with natural non-ornate textiles.  Carol Christian Poell is one of those designers who thinks outside the box and her Bison boot is testament to that.  It has a strong buffalo skin that is dyed as a single time (sole and all) then has an inventive fold over silhouette and closure.  It is forward in execution while giving nods to menswear classics like spats.  Available now at DarklandBerlin.com.
