Selfridges Shoe Carnival

Roll up…roll up…step right up!! It’s the Selfridges shoe carnival for all you guys and girls.

The big top in this sense is the iconic flagship Selfridges building on Oxford St, which over the last year has seen the launch of the largest men’s and women’s shoe menageries in the world, and now they are putting on a carnival bonanza for you to enjoy over the next two months.

You can imagine Mr Selfridge would have opening his doors with elephants, acrobats and fire breathers. Or maybe I’ve just been watching too much tv lately.

But unfortunately here will be no bearded ladies or clowns on show. Or should I say none provided by Selfridges, as we can’t vouch for the audience.

There will be a host of events being held throughout the next couple of months to showcase the fantastic shoes on offer. This extravaganza will give you the audience, the chance to participate to make sure the shoes you buy from the store will be original and a complete one-off.

We have listed the menswear events for you to write in your gentleman’s diary so you won’t miss a thing.

Stemar will be providing a master craftsman to demonstrate the old-age techniques of hand made shoes.

The Oliver Sweeney Tattoo Studio comes to Selfridges. You may have seen this pop-up shop around London over the past year it’s where a tattoo artist will give you a unique design for your shoes using a real tattoo gun. One of the best ones I have seen was for a gentleman’s wedding; he had the date of the wedding tattooed on his shoes.
