To the New York-based designer, Stuart Weitzman, a shoe is about making a woman feel beautiful. He produces over 600 styles a year, inventing new silhouettes and adapting wondrous materials to engineer the most comfortable fit. Equal parts spectacle and sculpture, the Stuart Weitzman shoe is often about unexpected materials and constructions that routinely push the boundaries of traditional footwear. Heels surprise in pillars of chrome, stainless steel, acrylic, and bamboo; carved cork and layered woods. Silhouettes seduce in lace, linen and silk brocade along with the most luxurious leathers. Founded in 1986, more than 100 hand operations go into every pair, infusing skill and flair into each creation. As the “shoemaker to the stars,” Angelina Jolie, Eva Mendez, Eva Longoria and Kate Winslet are among those who have chosen Stuart Weitzman shoes for their red carpet entrances.
