Allison McNamara — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 11:55:52 PDT

Hot young designer Nicholas Kirkwood has won the hearts, or should we say soles, of celebrities like Beyoncé, Rooney Mara, and Sarah Jessica Parker. His extravagant, often over-the-top shoes have walked red carpets - via the feet of stars like Michelle Williams - all over the world. So we headed over to the London Show Rooms in LA where Nicholas himself gave us an inside look at his Midnight in Paris-inspired Fall 2012 collection. Drawing inspiration from design legends like Elsa Schiaparelli and Coco Chanel, his shoes for next season are decadent, rich, and filled with texture. Watch today's Fab Flash to hear more from Nicholas Kirkwood, a force to be reckoned with in the luxury shoe world!

With fans like Zoe Saldana, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Miranda Kerr sporting his sexy designs on the red carpet, it's no wonder that Nicholas Kirkwood has risen to shoe stardom. Pictures of his latest Fall 2012 collection just released, showing a range of extreme high heels and quirky leather flats inspired by Paris in the '20s. Platform heels highlighted colorful reptilian prints, sandals received the sequined Midas touch, while whimsical flats provided a comfy option for those kick-back days. There were also a few neotribal strappy sandals perfect for wearing with Spring and Fall's sporty trend. Check out our favorite looks below, then click the slideshow to see the rest of Nicholas Kirkwood's Fall 2012 shoe collection.

Fab's top three picks:

These tribal-inspired sandals are the perfect mix of sexy and sleek. We love the striking cobalt blue hue.
These raspberry cutout booties are adorable. How cute would they look with a pretty midi skirt or denim cutoffs?
We can't get enough of these floral slingbacks. The bow-adorned heel is such a cute, whimsical touch.

Nicholas Kirkwood's Fall/Winter collection for Rodarte. I've read that they were inspired and made to look like melted candle wax. Interesting.

Celeb Style: Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker continued her Sex and the City 2 promotions, this time stopping by David Letterman's studios in NYC. Like all her recent outfits, this one is incredibly snazzy; Carrie would be proud. The sequined zebra Blumarine dress is sexy, while her white Stella McCartney blazer gives boyish flair. A gold crossbody bag, matching gold bracelets, and to-die-for Nicholas Kirkwood sandals act as fabulous sidekicks.
