That Fashion Chick Label LOVE: Sophia Webster {shoe designer}

I'm just going to say it...Sophia Webster is my new TOP FAVORITE SHOE DESIGNER!!!  I Love you  Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo and Giuseppe Zanotti {you're solid} but Sophia is really giving me a taste of my personal style through her shoes...personality for days!

 

I posted about Sophia Webster back in 2012 as a new shoe designer to watch {HERE}. NOW a year later, she already did a collaboration with J. Crew {HERE} and just won a BFA for Emerging Accessories Designer {HERE}! Webster is steady climbing and I am inspired and motivated by my fellow designer. Sophia Webster is one to watch!

Jimmy Choo is making changes

The celebrity favored shoe line, Jimmy Choo, is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year.  Its going to mean leaving on a high note for Jimmy Choo's co-founder and chief creative officer, Tamara Mullon- who is also the face of the brand.  Joshua Shulman, the CEO of Jimmy Choo, is resigning as well.

It has been reported that the Labelux Group was unhappy with Choo's condition, when it was acquired.

Surly more information will be announced.  These changes will be in affect after the end of November. The creative team will stay on board, so there shouldn't be a drastic change to the Jimmy Choo heels, but I do wish Tamara Mullon the best.  Hopefully she creates another fabulous brand that makes another great impact in fashion!

Get the scoop!

Noooo!.... Could Halston be going out of business?

Halston has hired an investment bank to look into possibly selling the label. It gets interesting, because in 2007, Harvey Weinstein and Hilco Consumer Capital got the label in hopes to bring it back stronger to the market, with the help of Tamara Mellon, founder and President of Jimmy Choo. 

They even brought Sarah Jessica Parker on board to oversee the lower-priced line, Halson Heritage.  That fell through when CEO Bonnie Takher left leaving Parker mentor-less.

The problem is boiling down to more money needed for growth.  The company is already four years out, but investors are not quite sold on putting in their chips.

Lets hope something shakes here.  Halston is a great label!
