jimmychoo_24_7collection.jpgDespite whatever may be going on with Tamara Mellon personally, the lady certainly knows her shoes.

The Jimmy Choo creative director has unveiled a new collection featuring updated versions of her favourite styles. Named Choo 24/7, it includes such styles as 'Icons', 'Perfect Platforms', and the 'Perfect Flat' in a variety of colours and heel heights.

The range is slated to launch to coincide with Jimmy Choo's spring/summer 2010 collection. It will be sold throughout Jimmy Choo stores from January next year. [via Vogue UK]

Yay or Nay: Jimmy Choo lighting-up sandals

Jimmy Choo is giving fashionistas the chance to have a real party for their feet with his latest shoe innovation: it's these extravagant lighting up disco sandals, just debuted at Milan Fashion Week. The wearer's movements trigger the perspex heels to light up, just like those kiddies' trainers that flash on and off as they toddle along.

Do these represent for you the ultimate in party shoes or a taste u-turn for the footwear king? You decide!

Vote in more Yay or Nays!

Christopher Kane revives Versus for Versace: Check out the shoes!

christopherkane_versus_shoes2010.jpg


After unveiling a range of accessories last season for Versace's revived Versus line, Christopher Kane has just added a womenswear and (more!) shoes to his spring 2010 collection.

Collaborating with Donatella Versace, it's obvious who Kane has taken inspiration from... erm, Liz Hurley's iconic 1994 safety pin dress, anyone? In footwear, he has incorporated burnt orange colours, chain detailing, and brushed metal. Apparently the only flat shoes were a pair of Chelsea boots, in a similar style to Kane's last Versus collection.

Preview: Shoes by Jimmy Choo for H&M

jimmychoo_hm_shoes.jpg


Ever since we heard that Jimmy Choo was designing a more affordable line for H&M we have been sitting on the edge of our seats for what he will come up with. Now, a sneak peek of the collection, which also includes clothes and accessories, has come to our attention and the shoes... well, they ain't bad at all. I'm loving the strappy two tone heels, studded shoe boots, and animal print stilettos. Can Tamara Mellon make the line a hit? We'll see... The range is available in stores on 14 November.

Marc by Marc Jacobs croc print pumps

marc-jacobs-shoes.jpgMarc Jacobs has gone for the clonky look with these heavy-bottomed pumps that look like they'd probably withstand an ice age. The heels are very Lanvin-esque (and more than a little nineties) but I'm starting to get used to that now. What's really interesting about these shoes is the industrial looking hexagonal pin that's holding the patent bow firmly in place; a hard/soft touch that's red hot right now. The toe and heel caps are also a flourishing trend.

I can imagine these shoes being a good investment for anyone who's obliged to wear a suit or dress formally but likes to show a little character and experimentation. They could be dressed up or down and are terribly chic. Find them at Harvey Nichs for £295

The Christian Louboutin 'Love' series

louboutin-love-shoes.jpgI love Fridays, but I love Christian Louboutin shoes even more - so I simply couldn't resist combining the two and bringing you these two classic and wonderful shoes from the King of Heels, both of which have recently been re-launched.

Louboutin has said that both iconic styles - which were partly responsible for sending his career into orbit - were influenced by Princess Diana, because he always wanted her 'to have love at her feet'. It's an adorable sentiment, but my only concern with actually wearing these would be the amount of foot-love bordering on worship they might invite...

Love 100 Suede heeled pumps, £665 and Love flat shoes, £395 both at Net-a-Porter

Rupert Sanderson 'Winona' leopard print heels

rupert-sanderson-winona.jpgRupert Sanderson really excells at taking classic styles and getting them absolutely spot-on for today's fickle customer - and you're looking at a great example of what I mean. The shape of this fabulous shoe has been tweaked just enough to give it a hint of sexiness without going crazy with cut-out bits and embellishments, with more than enough decoration provided by the all-over print.

The 'leopard print' pattern is pretty subtle, with a result that looks to me more like polished stone. Just imagine that worn against some of this season's deep red tights! I'm melting...

£345 at Net-a-Porter
