Red Shoe Clothing Company produces ready-to-wear and custom clothing for both men and women. Red Shoe designs are classic in style and feature precise tailoring, while the combination of comfort and restraint creates a dichotomy that drives the label's originality. Pairing "comfortable" fabrics with stretch – lycra-infused cotton wovens and knits – with details like ribcage-embracing harnesses fashioned out of well-worn leather establishes a look that represents both movement and militant rigidity.

Red Shoe's designer, Kerry Riley, studied in London at the American Intercontinental University and worked under British designer Zandra Rhodes. After completing her BA in Apparel Design in 2001, Riley honed her skills as an assistant designer/patternmaker at a leading dancewear company, and also moonlights as a professional photographer.
