FASHION CODY & CO -THE REGENERATION OF THE GREAT BRITISH SHOE The Lifestyle Agency is excited to announce the launch of British shoe brand Cody & Co this Autumn. Founded by Phil Cody, an entrepreneur in footwear, the AW collection contains an array of affordable luxury shoes from Chelsea boots to casual trainers and suede loafers. Cody & Co serves as the ultimate British brand for the discerning, modern man. Combining British craftmanship with Italian design, the brand’s first footwear line serves as a regeneration of the great British shoe. The creation of shoe entrepreneur Phil Cody, Cody & Co footwear harnesses a British heritage with no compromise on quality; products are crafted in Sheffield using the finest Italian leather. Cody comments, “The handwriting of our product is inspired by Italian shoemaking; their flair for relaxed constructions and material finishing. The attention to detail on brand application and every aspect of the shoe has been thought through in meticulous detail, from the utilisation of high-grade materials to the sustainably-sourced, recycled packaging each pair is delivered in.” A hero-product from the A/W collection is undoubtedly the Handley (from £185) -a reimagined Chelsea boot with a pared- back construction in premium Janus Calf Suede from British-born Steads and Co. of Leeds. For a more casual look the Sorby trainer (from £155) utilises Eurotre’s Italian full-calf leather lining to create a timeless, modern classic sneaker. 44 The Art of Luxury Issue 42 2019
