Fierce footwear stepping into vogue

Living and designing in Rome but calling New York City his hometown by way of Trinidad is the shoe designer of-the-moment Lincoln Brown. His label, Lincoln’s NY serve up one-of-a-kind, masterly constructed, handmade shoes that look straight out of the Stone Ages by way of Firenze. After years of apprenticing with legendary East Village Cobbler Barbara Shaun and Italian shoe maestros Nicola Petrelli and Luigi Cataldo, three seasons ago Brown branched out on his own customizing made to order designs for an elite clientele, including myself. I don’t go a season without placing an order for one of his gladiator sandals, rock of ages boots or alligator flats. If you’re also a sap for, where did you get those greetings? Lincoln’s NY sells at Geraldine’s in New York City.
