Stuart Weitzman is a shoe legend. He is the designer whose career triumph renews itself every single day that a woman picks up his shoes, tries them on and feels as if she is taking a million-dollar step forward to glamour. “I design shoes to make women happy,” he says. And that simple declaration says a lot.

Beyond function, beyond comfort, beyond stepping to trite trends around him, Stuart Weitzman prefers to work with extraordinary materials and ideas to make a woman feel special.

“My name is on the shoe” says Weitzman. “I put everything into making it the best I can possibly make it.”

Peek into his newest arrivals as well as his contemporary collections. The pictures convey his true passion for going the extra mile in design. Be prepared for stunning looks this coming spring and summer. His name continues to be associated with the richest and most surprising statements in footwear.

Say hello to the shoe that places you on the yacht for champagne toasts or at the palace to greet the other honored guests. This is Stuart Weitzman’s Rowswoon, a new arrival like no other. While many designers are putting out me-too leopard and snakeskin prints, Stuart Weitzman has gone for a totally unique “leopard” platform. This shoe has a posh gray and sand design that lends itself to the finest linen and cotton day dresses, tropical-wear coats and suits. The shoe cloth is denim; the sole is leather.

This is the Openshut bootie sensation destined to please the heady trendsetter looking forward to  spring! This time the designer works his magic in linen with sunny gold eyelets and spaghetti-thin laces for a light bootie head-turner. No female wearing this shoe can be blamed for feeling like a runway model. A young “distressed” look adds to the shoe’s personality via playful cutouts.

When does a simple high heel become the shoe sensation of the entire party? You have the answer when you see Stuart Weitzman’s “Naughty” heels with its pointed toe and bodacious shade of red. The design magic is in the very low-cut sides. They give the foot an utterly feminine look. Name your materials. Stuart Weitzman has made this shoe in materials that give you and your wardrobe lots of options– patent leather, nappa leather, glossy croco, tortoise patent, or glitter.

Who wears Stuart Weitzman?

Whether they are in denims and hoofing around shops with an errand list or dressing up for nights on the red carpet, the stars step into Stuart Weitzman shoes. Just about every celebrity you can think of has a special place in their closet for his shoes. Jessica Biel, Leighton Meester, Jennifer Aniston, Molly Sims, and Fergie are among the stars who are fans of this master of shoe design.

Vera Wang shoes have been described as a little bit of uptown and a little bit of downtown, edgy but stylish, young but sophisticated. Translation: Vera Wang shoes carry a very special dose of attitude.

Vera Wang is the world’s in-demand wedding gown designer. Her bridal dresses have been part of the most celebrated weddings on the contemporary scene: for Chelsea Clinton, Ivanka Trump, Victoria Beckham, Uma Thurman, and others. She has even designed costumes for figure skaters, including Nancy Kerrigan and Michelle Kwan.

Today’s fashion-conscious women also seek out her design talents in shoes. Her high-style Vera Wang Lavender shoes in particular are favorites with salon shoppers. In her blog, Vera Wang mentioned that she was having a meeting all about shoes and she proceeded to talk about her Lavender line.

” I love the line because the shoes are fashion forward enough for me….AND young and cool enough for my girls! Shoes bring a range of attitude: sexy, tough, boyish. The options are limitless,” she said.

That’s the kind of fun and energy that Vera Wang brings to her shoes, whether they are flats, boots, booties or highly opinionated platforms.

This is the Vera Wang Lavender ‘Haylee’ Sandal –the most coquettish T-strap heel you can find.  Originality shows up in her use of silk embellished with beads on fine leather. This shoe comes with a back-zip closure. Back-zip detailing has been a frequent detail in designers’ boot lines, but Vera Wang chose to give this dress-up shoe back-zip detail. The shoe is versatile for all kinds of outfits, such as a black sequined sheath with dressy tights or an evening pants suit for clubs and parties.

Vera Wang tops the chart for fashionable romantics. This is the Vera Wang Lavender “Elizabeth” shoe, an evening sandal like no other. She has taken lustrous silk as the material on which different-shaped round, oval and teardrop stones are placed. The stones are in romantic Elizabethan hues that evoke tales of royal courts and courtesans of centuries past.  Old-world romanticism is matched by new-day design in a trendy sling-back sandal with open toe.

Ankle-Boot Chic

It takes a totally confident designer to walk away from the frills of evening wear when she wants to concentrate on shoes for casual wear.

This is the Ursula Lace-up Ankle Boot that’s getting lots of attention as the Vera Wang rendition of the  leather work boot updated for the fashion trend-setter. The rugged leather look evokes an old-word scene of city women scurrying up and down city roads long ago, with its rounded toe, pull- on styling, and sturdy rubber sole. Vera Wang adds more magic in the shoe’s stylish narrow cut and its chic stacked heel.
