Salvatore Ferregamo and Yohji Yamamoto have joined forces to launch some pretty sleek kicks. Yohji took inspiration from Ferragamo classics to create seven men´s shoes that will sell at between $500 and 1000. The collection that brings together Ferragamo´s masterful tradition and Yamamoto´s unique vision will be in the shops by autumn 2009.
Another shoe collab I am definitely excited about is the continuation of the Alice&Olivia for Payless. The fall boots are looking super duper fly. Nylon has been so nice as to use them in some editorials. Check em...
Once again Gap is bringing back Pierre Hardy for another shoe allinace. Loving the grey suede.
Now for some other news...... All at this point you should be familiar with Gilt Groupe and if not then you better get on it! The high discount designer website launched in 2007 and has become a fashion mega site. Save the date for August 12th cause they are about to enter the not so designer side of things and launch a sister site called Gilt Fuse, which will focus on the less expensive, but still desirable bridge and contemporary labels that you might find at Barneys Co-op or Scoop.
