Shoe King: Stuart Weitzman
This week, we’re proud to bring you a sale by shoe king Stuart Weitzman! When it comes to classic glamour with a dose of sophisticated edge, few designers do it as well as Weitzman. His sought-after creations are equal parts spectacle and sculpture, and are the ultimate canvas for exotic and unexpected materials—think heels fashioned from chrome, canvas and cork; silhouettes from lace, linen, and leather; and embellishments spanning from crystals and gems to 24-karat gold. Staples on red carpets (especially the Oscars) and streets, the “Shoemaker to the Stars,” as he is often referred to, has truly raised the bar on the art of fashion footwear. At our glamour-infused sale, which goes live at 12pm EDT on 6/30, you’ll find pretty pumps, sexy sandals and fabulous flats all boasting the signature attention to detail and fierce feminine style that have made Weitzman a household name.
