Entry Description: The fall/winter 08 women’s collection is more extensive and complete than any season before it with offerings silhouette ranging from funky flats to stilettos worthy of any vixen. The selection presents fabulous and edgy new takes on the company’s top-selling shapes. Choice examples include the leather Meghan Bootie in statement making bronze, black or patent black/red with a 4-inch heel and removable hardware-adorned strap. The Karlsson Platform Shoe features three colorways that easily go from a casual to dress - rustic metallic, patent-black and pewter and black and red. With the stylings of a ballerina flat, the Felicia, is transformed and exudes rebellion with a studded metal strap. The carry-over Sarah Pump showcases a stiletto heel and shapely soft-tumbled leather which adds to its sophisticated sensibility. Colorways like black/red and silver give Sarah a fresh look for the fall. The boot selection offers new silhouettes as well as core carryovers in lustrous new leathers like noir and rich brown, as seen on the Leatrice Riding Boot – SHANE&SHAWN’s downtown hardware-clad rendition of the equestrian boot. The Yola Knee Boot with its leather ankle straps and buckles is powerful and streamlined.
