エアジョーダン 11 The shoe on another foot now

The shoe on another foot now

bag and shoe company that's been around forever 80 years to be exact just got itself some surprising street cred. Its triangleshaped woven leather handbag, about $400 retail, is the first in the エアジョーダン 11 company's history to show up on the knockoff vendors' stands in New York.

That's not good, right?

"It's a big compliment," said the company's new design director, , who was in San Francisco recently for a private dinner party at Spruce. "The ニューバランス m1400 Genevieve bag is the most successful bag we've エルメス バッグ ever had. Being knocked off shows we're not a stodgy footwear brand anymore. We're considered modern and relevant."

This is a big year for the company, which began in flapperera Chicago in 1928 and has been known mostly for loafers and workaday pumps. The headquarters are now in Maine.

The company is reimagining many of its classic shoes with new colors, stitching, toe shapes and Nike Air cushioning, first introduced into dress heels in 2006. (Nike acquired Cole Haan in 1988.)

Trying to attract a younger crowd, this year the company brought in New York jewelry designer , already a favorite with the trendy set, to create a line of jewelry and "pennies" for loafers. Sheffield is tattooed over much of her body not what you'd expect a Cole Haan woman to look like, and that's precisely the point. "We wanted someone to take us outside of ourselves," said Overfield.

Sheffield started her career in San Francisco, graduating from the Academy of Art University, where she fell in エアジョーダン 6 love with welding. "I loved smelling like matches and having soot on my cheeks. I found the whole experience ゴローズ 通販 of the darkness and the flames very cathedralesque."

She moved into jewelry design with her delicate but industrial line of organicshaped jewelry made from silver, gold and semiprecious stones, called セリーヌ ラゲージ Bing Bang (the sound of hammer on anvil). She sold her first pieces in 2002 at San Francisco's Gimme Shoes, where the line is still carried.

For Cole コンバース Haan's 80th, Sheffield designed a disk for the classic 1928 penny loafer, which has been updated with a slightly slimmer silhouette, Nike cushioning and colorful patent leathers ($225). A new satin peeptoe highheeled slingback ($350) also sports プラダ 店舗 a tiny disk embellished バーバリー 時計 with an even tinier ニューバランス 店舗 Swarovski crystal.

Next up for the company: a line of bridal shoes for spring. "We're looking for that balance of high fashion at a good price," said Overfield, "from a true American fashion company." 相关的主题文章:
