One artist inspiring another can spark… a shoe collection. Upon seeing a Leslie Joy Original photograph, fashion designer Ivanka Ska stepped into a new realm and created a collection of towering platform shoes. Each pair is a work of art, constructed with swoon-worthy patterns, fabrics and some sparkle. Debuted before an adoring crowd at VERTICAL Tampa Bay magazine’s “Something Very VERTICAL” party last year, Ivanka’s shoes are held in high regard by fashionistas and shoe-fetishistas alike. Fitting to wear or to place on your mantle as artwork, these beauties are available locally at Baubles…etc. 1544 S. Dale Mabry, Tampa, 813-253-0900.
