Victoria Beckham to Add Shoes to Nakesake Collection
Get ready for Lady Beckham approved shoes. The famous multitasker plans to add shoes to her already successful collection of dresses. Apparently, she’s growing weary of promoting her designer friends.
So indies, will you be buying a pair of Beckham designed stilletos?
We Like Them Big. McQueen Instills Envy with His Massive, 12 Inch…
shoes.
Seriously, these things are a beast. And compared to normal stilletos, it seems like these monsters were raised outside of a nuclear powerplant. Can’t wait to see someone attempt them on the streets.
FIRST LOOK: Marc Jacobs’ Shoes
The most surprising thing about the Marc show for me this year? The lack of high heels. From the front these look like typical Marc fare: quirky, colorful shoes that you know you want but just aren’t sure how many outfits you can incorporate them into. Well keep looking before you buy, because these interesting shapes have a surprising kitten heel, something rarely seen in fashion unless someone is gawking over Michelle Obama’s style. To be honest, I was hoping they would stay far away forever.

Gwen Stefani definitely knows how to keep things hot. Her shoes are quickly becoming a favorite, as she is always “on point”.
DESIGNER TO KNOW: Lodger Footwear
My attention was recently directed to Lodger Footwear, a London based fine men’s shoe company and despite them being rather basic, conservative shoes, they are some of the most handsome by far. It goes without saying that everyone appreciates a well-made shoe, but it is beyond me how this company releases a new shoe design monthly while maintaining quality and traditional craftsmanship. The great part about Lodger Footwear is their versatility- classy enough to be worn with a suit and casual enough to be dressed down with jeans. Completely loving the black and brown mid-calf lace boots!

STREET HEROES: James Aguiar And Patrick McDonald’s Shoes
Fashion Indie’s favorite social climber captured these wonderful shoe-sock combinations by James Aguir and Patrick McDonald, and we can only say, we’re just as much in love with this look as he was. Those painted oxfords? Brilliant.

DESIGNER TO KNOW: Olsen Haus
Taking a hint from Stella McCartney’s chic wearable vegan-friendly style, Olsen Haus has created a another shoe line for all of you animal friendly fashionistas who want to avoid Birkenstock-style shoes. With her reasonable price points (averaging between $140 and $250), Olsen Haus incorporates bright colors and materials such as cork, linen and ultra-suede. Vegans, remember this name because Olsen Haus will soon be expanding into bags!
