For the second season, shoe designer Rupert Sanderson collaborated with Karl Lagerfeld for his runway collection. If the Spring 2010 shoe looks familiar, it’s because the designs are based off two of Rupert’s best selling styles, the Asteroid and Finesse. Updates to the shoe included a heel inspired inspired by the Italian architect Gio Ponti and ankle straps that were altered so that they looped under the sole and are bolted in place. To complete the futuristic rock look Lagerfield was going for, a shot of Karl as a guitar hero was spray-stenciled on the front of the shoes.

Shoe Showdown: Brian Atwood Lola Pumps


Whether or not you like super skinny Rachel Zoe, stylist to the stars, you have to admit Zoe has a pretty keen eye for dressing her clients. So it should come as no surprise when Zoe issued her first Zoe Report on Brian Atwood’s Lola Platforms, they would be a hit. Here’s what Zoe had to say about the Atwood’s shoes:
…Atwood consistently brings my sole fantasies to life—and he has outdone himself with the Lola Platform Pumps… sexy elastic detailing and high platform—I DIE. With fall just around the corner, these shooties* are a must-have transitional piece to help you segue through the seasons. That is, they’re relevant to your summer and fall wardrobe. To the wearer, the possibilities are endless. Lola’s eighties punk-meets-luxury aesthetic will bring your little black dress to life. The pumps are also perfect for upgrading a more casual look (think: dark skinny jeans, a tee and tuxedo jacket), so don’t be scared to rock them during the day.
As these celebrities demonstrate, this is one versatile shoe. I wonder if any use Zoe as their stylists.
Anyways, it’s time for you to vote in the latest shoe showdown. Who do you think rocked Brian Atwood’s Lola shoes the best - Katy Perry, Megan Fox, Jessica Stroup, or Brookyn Decker?

House of Harlow Shoes from Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie already has a jewelry and clothing line. Today, we were happy to get a first look at the latest addition to Nicole’s fashion empire, specifically House of Harlow 1960 shoes! Judging from the initial sneak peaks, the shoes, as with the rest of the line, continues to be inspired by Nicole’s love of the 1960s and 70s. It’s easy to imagine Nicole actually wearing the bohemian looking footwear which consists of geometric patterns and tribal looking shapes.
What do you think of this line? Would you buy these shoes when they arrive in 2010 and at what price point?
