Exclusive: Watch Kate Moss strut her stuff for Stuart Weitzman
Is it too ambitious to want to own the word ‘walk’ and make it synonymous with your brand? Certainly not for shoe giant Stuart Weitzman, whose latest campaign aims to do just that. With Kate Moss as its star, Stuart Weitzman launched the Made For Walking campaign last night in Milan, to an audience of fashion influencers celebrating the brand’s new flagship store.
To kick off the worldwide campaign, we have an exclusive clip of a behind the scenes look at this exciting collaboration. However, the final footage is also a must-watch: Filmed in black and white, the Kate-centered video takes us to the back of a chauffeured luxe car where the petite model, in a shaggy coat, grows impatient with London traffic and finally decides to walk the rest of the way. Cue Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Are Made for Walking” as the hard to miss icon effortlessly struts down a few central London streets turning every head and sparking boot envy from passersby as she goes.

Alicia Keys on fitness, fashion and her new sneaker collaboration with Reebok
Photography courtesy Reebok.ca Preview the Reebok Classic x Alicia Keys Summer 2013 collection »
In the midst of her Girl on Fire world tour, we sat down with Alicia Keys in New York (looking very uptown-downtown in a printed Givenchy shirt and sneakers—the new A.Keys wedge from her fall Reebok collection) to talk Crossfit, vitamins and being a slave to fashion.
She was ahead of the curve on the sneaker resurgence:
“When I was a kid, I’d get the Reebok Freestyle sneakers because they were a good price range, multiple colours and I could match them with my jacket and shirt. In 2002 or 2003, I did a song called ‘If I Ain’t Got You.’ For the video, we were in Harlem and I brought the Freestyle and I painted it purple. I thought, ‘Man, it’d be cool to bring the sneaker back.’” -
Is there anything more obsession-inducing than Charlotte Olympia’s zodiac shoes?
See all 12 of Charlotte Olympia’s zodiac shoes »
This spring, Charlotte Olympia is focusing her attention on astrology. The near-iconic British shoe designer has launched two new collections of shoes and clutches inspired by horoscope personalities and zodiac symbols. The new Cosmic Collections titled “Birthday Shoes” and “Zodiac Pandora,” which include designs that each represent the 12 star signs and are available in stores and online today.
Handmade in Italy, the 12 zodiac signs are displayed like jewellery on suede flat shoes and colourful clutches. They were created with Swarovski crystal embellishments and hand painted for an extraordinary attention to detail. Each design reflects the personality of the particular zodiac sign. We love the blonde-haired Gemini twins and the golden Leo lion. Now, if only, we were all born under those signs…

Fall 2013 shoes: Our running gallery of the most covetable styles of the runway season
Photography by Peter Stigter See our favourite shoes from Fall 2013 »
Forget diamonds, everybody knows that shoes are a girl’s best friend. As the Fall 2013 trends begin to emerge, so too do the must-have heels, boots and flats of the season. This round of fashion week has brought with it oodles of new shoe trends to look out for. From strappy suede booties to architectural high heels, the New York, London, Milan and soon-to-be Paris runways are filled with quirky designs that can certainly be the finishing touch on any outfit.
So far, many designers are reinventing old classics and updating them with modern details. Case in point: high-heeled loafers, seen at Mulberry, Rag & Bone and Moschino, which gave a new feminine twist to menswear’s most classic shoe by using fresh yellows, and unexpected patterns. Speaking of unexpected combinations, one of the most unusual footwear trends is the emerging sandal-boot. Open-toe booties are nothing new, but this time designers such as Prada have created a boot customized with cutouts around the sides and front of the shoe.

Aldo Rise Fall 2013: The scoop and photos from the latest collaborations with Roksanda Ilincic and Preen
See the Aldo Rise Fall 2013 collections from Roksanda Ilincic and Preen »
Building on the success of previous collaborations, Aldo has partnered with Preen and Roksanda Ilincic for its ongoing Aldo Rise collaboration series for Fall 2013. Aldo Rise, which has previously worked with designers such as J.W. Anderson and Mark Fast, creates footwear exclusively for designers to show in their runway collections. Aldo then produces the styles and sells them in their stores around the world. This is the fourth season Preen has worked with Aldo, and the second season for up and coming designer Roksanda Ilincic.
The Aldo Rise shoes were presented during both of the designers’ recent London Fashion Week presentations. At Preen, Creative Director Justin Thornton described the vibrant red heels as “tough and sexy with a collage of textures and finish.” In basic shapes that are actually realistic for everyday wear, these shoes are elegant with a touch of edge.

Joe Fresh expands its fall shoe selection with over 70 covetable new styles
View selections from the Joe Fresh Fall 2012 shoe collection »
Since its launch in 2006, Joe Fresh has been on a whirlwind across Canada (and since late last year, the US) providing women with fashion-forward clothing at super affordable prices. And the store has hit the mark again for fall with their newly expanded shoe department.
The store is no stranger to selling shoes, but the expanded area within the brand’s freestanding boutique locations means for greater selection. And for us that means we have to clear room in our closets, as these shoes are on our must-have list already. With over 70 different styles available and multiple colours to choose from in each, you can expect to see (more) Joe Fresh on the feet of many fashionable ladies this fall.

The list: Fiery accents set classic black-and-white houndstooth ablaze
See our editor’s houndstooth picks »
Black and white houndstooth is by no means a new trend in fashion—it gained mainstream popularity in the 1930s and has been modified many times over. For Fall 2012 designers have once again put their spin on the classic look and there are many houndstooth pieces that can be kicked up by simply adding red and gold accents.
Maisonette 1977’s form-fitting dress is not full-on houndstooth, but rather gives a hint of the pattern on the top and bottom in case you’re too nervous to go for the whole nine yards. However, for full-on houndstooth try the popular pattern on pants (like this pair by Melanie Lyne) or on a Jacob skirt. If you’re wearing houndstooth on the bottom, be sure to not do the same on top—break it up with a bold colour, like a red blouse from Equipment.
You can also add pops of colour with the accessories you choose to accent with. Red and black heels by Aquazzura will keep you completely on trend, or go small with jewellery. A red and gold ring by Kate Spade or some gold bracelets from Pandora will add just the right amount of colour, turning a classic outfit into something fiery and fresh.

22 Prada shoe close-up photos that beg the question: How do you really feel about the toe/thong/sock/platform?
Photograohy by Peter Stigter
View the Prada toe/thong/sock/platform photo evidence! »
It’s been a whole 24 hours since Miuccia Prada took her faith in the ugly-chic to its farthest extent, unleashing a Rei Kawakubo meets Mary Quant meets Marc Jacobs meets Marimekko hybrid collection accessorized with leather toe thong sock platforms at Milan Fashion Week Spring 2013. We’re still processing how we feel. Maybe we’re just finding a way to like the shoes because it feels bad to say anything bad about Prada. (It’s like; you’d never call your mom ugly, right?) Often with dear Miuccia, it takes a little while for eyes to adjust to her prophetic stylings (monkeys on stripes on poof sleeves? Hey!) but these little guys seem to be the first widely-disliked items Miuccia Prada has made in quite some time.
