We all know Christian Siriano, the winner of Project Runway and that he has been working on his line of clothing under the name Christian Siriano, but who saw this coming. He is designing shoes and handbags for none other than Payless. I personally do not shop at Payless because the shoes never fit me properly but I do see the excitment in this partnership. You are able to get designer shoes and handbags at a lower more affordable price. Any team of a designer and a big company is exciting because of this reason. The shoes and handbags won't appear until New York Fashion Week in Feburary 2009 and then in the stores and online in the fall of that year. The price range for both is between $25 - $45 which is not too shabby. Of this partnership Christian Siriano says, "I'm so excited to design and create with such an amazing brand that is all about fashion and trend but, most importantly, is also about affordability. I've already been working with the Payless Design Team in New York, and I can't wait to see how they will take the high- end shoes and bags I'm designing for the runway and turn them into pieces that everyone can buy. I'm all about the runway and the sidewalks!" I must say I'm pretty excited too and I'm hoping that the shoes are cute and the bags are practical. If so they will be a hit!
If I told you that there were shoes that you could change the heel height, the color, the size and other features without having to go buy another shoe would you believe me? Well believe it! These shoes by Camileon can do all that and more. The heel can go from 3¼ to 1½ inches by pulling down on the heel, then pushing it forward and tucking it under the arch of the shoe. Now this doesn't sound too attractive to me. Just imagine, you see a person walking around in some heels and then you notice this little black thing sticking out under the heel. I don't know about you but it looks pretty weird to me. But the whole concept sounds pretty good especially for the working woman. She can wear the short heel on her way to work if she's walking and then pop out the high heel at work and switch it again when she leaves. Not only is there a shoe that you can change the heel height of, there are shoes that you can change the color of and the size. From SkinsFootwear comes a shoe that has interchangable skin colors. This sounds strange to me because I'm not sure how it works or how it would look but hopefully they made it look fashionable. As for the shoe that changes size, it is for 3 to 9 year olds which is smart I think because kids feet grow like weeds. So apparently the shoe industry is coming up with new technologically advanced shoes to not only save us money but also save us time in the shoe store...although I don't know of any girl who minds staying in a shoe store for too long.
