Zandra Rhodes unveils new shoe range for Strutt Couture

zandrarhodes_struttcouture_pinkbooties.jpgZandra Rhodes is taking her next step after her collection for M&S by launching a footwear line for Strutt Couture. The legendary British designer has unveiled a bright capsule range of slashed le and laser cut-out leather booties and heels that will launch for spring/summer 2010.

"It was particularly exciting designing this collection because I haven't designed shoes in so long and I believe that it's shoes that finish an outfit - we are now more aware of footwear than ever before," she said.

Just like her pink hair, Zandra has created a pair of acid pink slashed booties (pictured), which will retail for £160. Stay glued to www.struttcouture.com for more details.

Paris Hilton launches bridal shoe collection

parishilton_bridalshoerange.jpgOkay, so she's not exactly the first person who springs to mind when thinking about wedding shoes. However, I must say that Paris Hilton hasn't done too badly here.

Consisting of just four styles (and a lot of bows) the socialite is expanding her footwear line to bridal. They aren't exactly amazing, but for a decently designed shoe with a girlie edge you can't overlook a couple of her designs for $120 a pop.

My favourite would have to be the Regal ivory peep-toe shoe (pictured) with pleat detailing and satin bow. The range is due to launch this month - visit My Glass Slipper to pre-order yours now.

Jimmy Choos fly out at the door at H&M launch

jimmychoo_hmlaunch_london.jpgFrom our sister blog, Catwalk Queen...

Not even the blustery wet weather could put off thousands of fashion fans who queued up to get their hands on the new Jimmy Choo for H&M collection early Saturday morning.

Eager shoppers lined up in front of H&M's flagship store in Regent Street from 8.30am. The doors opened at 9am to cheers and applause, and once inside crowds raced down the escalators to the store's basement where the collection's shoes and bags were grouped together.

Check out a video of the launch after the jump...

Vivienne Westwood's Dragon Lady shoes get a new twist

melissa-vivienne.jpgIn the couple of years they've been around, Vivienne Westwood's 'Dragon Lady' shoes - rendered in lickable rubber by Melissa - have already reached cult classic status. The dainty shoes, with their have proven irresistible to fashionistas and are already available in several colour combinations.

But now the style has been given an interesting new twist, with the iconic heart replaced by other motifs, including a giant gold bauble and wax seal shape, featuring the Vivienne Westwood logo. I'm pleased that the overall design of the shoe has not been meddled with too much, and will be interested to see how these new variants on the style catch on.

All heeled styles £88 at My-Wardrobe;

Shoewawa Preview: New collection from Cleo B celebrates New York City skyline

cleo-b.jpgIf the shapes and styling on these shoes by Cleo B look oddly familiar, that could be because designer Cleo Barbour was more than a little inspired by the famous Art Deco architecture of New York City when she developed the range. Shown here, clockwise form left are Tribeca, Manhattan, Rockerfeller and Bleecker, all part of Cleo B's 'City of Golden Dreams' spring/summer 2010 collection.

I really like the use of colour here, and the shaping is seriously sexy and feminine. All of these styles are eminently wearable despite their distinctive character, and I can imagine they'd improve any dressed up summer outfit in an instant.

More information on stockists and where to buy online can be found here.

Zippyboots: The next step for Redfoot

zippyboots.jpgI recently wrote about Redfoot's range of women's fold up shoes, and their brand new range of men's leather fold up shoes.Well, they've now moved into the boots market, although this time it's a little different.

The Zippyboot is an ugg-style boot with four variable heights. You can wear the boot as it is, at full height as you can see on the right. The top section rolls down, so you can wear it with the sheepskin inner on the top, or unzip the top section completely. This then leaves you with the shorter boot, or an ankle boot if you turn down the top of this section.
