Shoes: Handpainted by Austrian artist Mani Wieder. “In 2009 I was laid off from the law firm I was working at. A photographer asked me to model, and then I started getting paid for it. I have a big Facebook following and get a lot of photo-shares on Instagram, so companies and artists contact me to model their clothing. Mani contacted me on social media and asked if he could send me some of his shoes. I love them.”
