Local Designer’s Shoes Shine at Fashion Week

Lest you think San Francisco designers were absent from the runways of Bryant Park last month, think again. Martha Davis Shoes were the sole (pun intended) ped-protectors chosen to accompany the Koi Suwannagate fall 2010 ready-to-wear collection.

Of the chance to show off her latest alongside a designer’s work she admires, Davis had this to say:
