One of our favourites here at Shoewawa has just been named Designer of the Year.
That's right, Giuseppe Zanotti has won the title at the Footwear News 23rd annual Achievement Awards, along with Steve Madden which received the Company of the Year award. Meanwhile, Manolo Blahnik USA President George Malkemus, will be inducted into the FN Hall of Fame.
The awards ceremony will be held on December 1 at a cocktail party at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York. Spare invite anyone?!
Zandra Rhodes is taking her next step after her collection for M&S by launching a footwear line for Strutt Couture. The legendary British designer has unveiled a bright capsule range of slashed le and laser cut-out leather booties and heels that will launch for spring/summer 2010.
"It was particularly exciting designing this collection because I haven't designed shoes in so long and I believe that it's shoes that finish an outfit - we are now more aware of footwear than ever before," she said.
Just like her pink hair, Zandra has created a pair of acid pink slashed booties (pictured), which will retail for £160. Stay glued to www.struttcouture.com for more details.
Just as they did with The Grateful Dead, Converse have teamed up with The Clash to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their hit album, London Calling.
London is literally calling your feet with this range of customised High Top Chuck Taylor's for spring 2010. The collection features white leather versions, as well as black and khaki canvas versions, with special tags and labels that identify the rockers with their record-breaking album.
Remember to keep an eye out for them. They will be released in January 2010.
Who would have thunk it? Putting studded belts on a pair of Uggs. Certainly not I!
The famous Australian footwear company have recruited a few even more famous shoe designers to help makeover Uggs for charity. They have enlisted the skills of Manolo Blahnik, Carlos Falchi and Rebecca Minkoff to create a one-off customised Ugg boot in order to raise funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis.
The Uggs will be sold off via the Uggs Australia website as part of the seventh annual Art & Sole auction.
Now, I'm fully aware that buying cheap shoes can be a false economy. Saying that, a lot of the shoes I've bought from places like Primark have far outlasted some of the more expensive options from shops like Faith.
So, cheap shoes can be great. Wynsors.com are kindly proving my point with these gorgeous cage high heels for £15. Somehow, they've managed to combine studs, cage straps and a platform without looking ridiculously over the top.
They've got quite a few more bargains too, especially in the boots department.
Angeline Tournier is a fairly new addition to my shop browsing activities, but I'm really impressed with their girly twist on the fairly unglamorous trainer.
Pop them on your Christmas list. After all those Christmas dinners and chocolate treats, you'll need something pretty impressive to persuade you to hit the gym.
They've also got some pretty ballerina flats too, which you can see below.
