Christian Louboutins and Manolo Blahniks are not technically a dime a dozen, but lately they're so ubiquitous it might seem that way. No one would say the same about the designs of Paris-based up-and-comer Joey McMakin. Exclusive in Boston to upscale women's shop Serenella, the first of only a few American boutiques to carry the label, each of the signature square-toe styles tread fashionable—and unique—ground.

His shoes are so beautiful - walking jewels. His attention to detail and unique style make them true works of art. Does Oprah know about him yet? The public needs to see more of him and his creations!!!
