Just the Right Shoe Collection...

Just The Right Shoe since its launch in 1998, has evolved from a collection of 18 historical shoe replicas to a complete visual representation of changing shoe fashions throughout history.
Just the Right Shoe has something for all tastes in this miniature shoe collection, from elegant and stylish to bright and funky!

The inventive artist Raine has discovered a unique formula for success. Combining a background of formal artistic study with a vivid imagination and a flair for social commentary, she has received broad recognition in the art world.

Raine attended the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, studying anatomy and the human form. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Illustration; the culmination of years of concentrating on painting and drawing, but Raine soon felt the constraints of working in only two dimensions, and instead turned to sculpture.

Raine pursued an interest in large, freestanding sculpture. Soon she became so accomplished that she won several commissions, creating pieces for schools, parks and businesses throughout the States.

Just the Right Shoe Collection launched in 1998. The collection was an immediate success on both sides of the Atlantic. In 1999 the Just the Right Shoe collection was awarded the "Best New Collectible of the Year" by the British Guild of China and Glassware Retailers, whilst artist Raine was awarded the "Rising Star" award from the USA-based National Association of Limited Edition Dealers, who also awarded the "Collectible of the Year" award to the brand in 2000.

Raine's whimsy, historical insight and sculpturally realistic style are combined in the creation of Just The Right Shoe; miniature collectibles which honour and memorialise the great creations in women's fashion throughout history.
