Tag Archives: Collection

Christian Louboutin has been unveiling the latest spring collection a little differently this season. Instead of having the usual countdown and hosting an interactive look book on his web site, they’re slowly releasing new designs through the e-boutique.

The spring styles are always brighter, more playful and I think this is one of the more wearable collections. It’s a mix of media madness (a trend in shoes this season) balanced out with several feminine, classic designs (such as the V-Neck, Flo).

We’ve already seen Jessica Alba wear the June slingback, Gemma Arterton in the Fifi Spikes and Jessica Biel wore the V-Neck in ELLE.

I like the Pigalle stripes, colorful Diptic bootie and nude Fifi Spikes.

**You can shop the latest styles online at Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Net-A-Porter.**

Jimmy-Choo-Taste-Sandal

Jimmy Choo Taste sandal | 120mm or 4.8″ heel | buy online for pre-order at Jimmy Choo US, Jimmy Choo UK, NordstromNeiman Marcus & Bergdorf Goodman for $995

Taste is from the latest Cruise 2013 collection and first worn by Kristen Stewart this summer. It features a tapered t-strap finished with invisible wire straps and back-zip closure. At first I wasn’t sure about the clear straps however I then saw it on Ginnifer Goodwin and Elizabeth Banks and have completely warmed to it.

Half sizes are available and it also comes in orange suede which you can find at NordstromJimmy Choo US and Jimmy Choo UK.

Nicholas-Kirkwood-ruffle-platform-pump-Spring-2013

Nicholas Kirkwood aqua/lime green platform pump | 5.1″ heel & 1.2″ platform | on pre-order for a limited time at Moda Operandi for $950

This suede ruffle style debuted in the Fall 2012 collection and was carried over in new colors for spring. They feature a ruched chiffon ruffle along the back of the heel, almond toe and signature angled platform. Britney Spears was spotted wearing the dark teal color on ‘X Factor’.

Also in ocean blue/purple or black/dark gold:

How Moda Operandi works: Each trunkshow run for 3-7 days where you can pre-order the styles (many pieces will never be available in stores). You pay a 50% deposit and the other half is due when the item is ready to be shipped. The Nicholas Kirkwood trunk show runs until October 29 at 11pm EST.

There are many more Spring 2013 styles available for pre-order too. If you can’t wait until spring, this ruffled pump is also available in black suede (fall collection) at Net-A-Porter and in a bootie at MyTheresa.

alexander-mcqueen-pre-spring-2013-collection
This pre-spring collection is the perfect precursor to the bee-inspired spring collection that we just saw presented last month at Paris Fashion Week.

The classic styles: the horn-shaped heel and skull peep-toe pump, are designed in bright orange, yellow & red. There are also several white leather designs and lucite sculpted heels.

My favorites styles are the simple ankle-strap sandal, snakeskin t-strap platform sandal and the chain-embellished gold ankle-strap sandal.

Steiger-Spring-2012
Walter Stegier’s Spring 2012 collection is the perfect paradox. We see delicate, minimalistic sandals like the Punchy and Philo and also several bold designs like the Prunelle and Prestance featuring the signature curved Steiger heel. Materials include raphia, patent leather, python and crocodile with a mix of bright neon tones. Most recently we’ve seen Elizabeth Banks in the Muse, Malin Akerman in the Punchy and Fergie wore the Prestance to the Grammys.
