British show designer Nicholas Kirkwood is being called the next Christian Louboutin.

Instead of red soles, Kirkwood’s hallmark looks to be the slanted sole.

His shoes are really like pieces of art and truly “stand” on their own —  unique shapes, unparralled detail, staple and exotic colors and comfortable to boot.

Kirkwood has designed shoes with and for such brands as Basso & Brooke, Belstaff, Chloé,  Tommy Hillfiger, Zac Posen and 3.1 Phillip Lim.

Oh, and he’s only 28 years young!

Available at Nordstrom.

Take a look at his latest designs for Spring / Summer ‘09.
