Alidra Alic's dreamily surrealist "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" collection gives a stunning glimpse into the jewelry designer's looking-glass aesthetic. Inspired by the decorative floral motifs that emerged from the romantic period of the 1800s, the mostly resin and plastic-based creations exude a wondrous, logic-defying sensibility.

To craft the collection, the nike dunk designer applied self-invented techniques to create hundreds of plastic forms—a rigorous process which can take as long as six months to complete. She also incorporates additional materials, such as freshwater pearls (like in the "Drink Me" ring, pictured below) and precious stones, as well as gold and silver. pearlnecklacehyacinth.jpg

The outcome makes for a fantastical series of lightly-colored rings redolent of illustrations from the pages of a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale. teacupring.jpg

While these grandiose pieces may not be ideal for everyday wear, consider them the perfect props for your next mad tea party. angelhyacinth.jpg

Originally designed for performers in Italy's piazzas, the family-run label Anniel Sport has been producing extremely pliant ballet and gymnastics shoes in streamlined silhouettes since 1976.

The rubber-soled jordan shoes for sale gained popularity in Japan, setting off the idea of using them as streetwear and spawning even more styles and colors. Today, the collection consists of shoes and handbags in saturated jewel tones and buttery-soft Italian leather.

While still more or less under the mainstream radar, the brand exhibits at smaller tradeshows such as Bread & Butter in Berlin, Pure London and Salon Premiere Classe in Paris and sells at independent boutiques like Pico in Copenhagen and Kiss Polly in Genoa, Italy, building slowly on their cult status.

Shoe styles span diminutive lace-up flats to air max shoes fringe moccasins to knee-high boots, all with a distinctively effortless aesthetic. The recently added collection of bags has a similar feel, keeping the quality of the craftsmanship as the focal point.

The first shoe in air jordan shoes celebrating the decades, the "Champion Take Flight" tackles the 1910s with a look that's equal parts dapper menswear and ladylike detailing. Washed sateen lends an unexpected touch of shine, while a cap toe, other leather details and a striped lining speak to a classic early 20th century feel. We can imagine Amelia Earhart sporting the gum soled-footwear, though Keds cites "America's coming of age during Industrial Revolution" as its inspiration.
