Filed under Featured Shoes, Shuznews
The shoe collection collaboration between designer Amanda Wakeley and danish shoe designer Camilla Skovgaard, that first appeared at London’s Fashion Week in September 2009, are now available for you to walk in… “This is truly a shoe for women designed by a woman “ said Amanda Wakeley, “Supremely sexy but utterly comfortable and wearable. I know that I for one will be living in these shoes this summer!”
About Amanda Wakeley’s Spring/Summer collection: “Inspired from traditionally dressed Indian men and women, past and present, from Kerala to Rajasthan, by the way the women wear their sari’s with such creative ease; the soft silhouette; the flowing of fabric; the wrapping of the strong hot colours around the body; layering of textures; flashes of embellishment; flashes of skin between the choli and draped sari; the wrinkled texture of the churidaar and dhoti pants.”
About the shoe: “The Camilla Skovgaard for Amanda Wakeley Brown shoe has a suede outer, leather straps, leather lining and a leather soled, man-made platform. The heel height is 12.5cm and the platform is 2cm.” (That’s almost 5 inches of heel ladies!)

News of Alexander McQueen’s Death Shocks Fashion World
Alexander McQueen
LBy GREGORY KATZ, Associated Press Writer, 2/10/10
LONDON – Brilliant and controversial British fashion designer Alexander McQueen was found dead in his London home Thursday after anguished Internet postings that revealed his deep sorrow at the death of his mother. He was 40 years old.
The circumstances pointed to a possible suicide but there was no official confirmation from police or McQueen’s publicists. Police said the death was not suspicious, apparently ruling out foul play, and did not give any immediate indication of how the death was discovered.
The Sun tabloid on Thursday, February 11, 2010, cited an anonymous source on its Web site who said an ambulance was called at 10 a.m. and workers found McQueen hanging in his apartment. The newspaper gave no further details.
McQueen’s sudden death robbed the fashion scene of one of its most innovative and successful young designers. His clothes were sexy and distinctive, dramatic and different, perfect for red-carpet presentations and late night rock gatherings.
He made his name first in London, then wooed audiences in Paris, New York and Milan to take his place in the upper echelons of the design world.
For complete story, click here.
Alexander McQueen lives on in his distinctive and elegant clothing, accessories and footwear collections. His unique footwear styles have long been a favorite of shoe lovers all over the world. So sad that such a brilliant star was taken away at the pinnacle of his career. Thank you Alexander for blessing us with your beautiful creations!

The Girl Soldier Charity Event – February 17, 2010
February 11, 2010 by cinder
Filed under Events, Heart & Sole, Philanthropy
The Cause
Girl Soldier is a New York based not-for-profit organization with a global perspective, focused on helping to secure basic human rights for girls around the world.
The Event
On February 17, 2010, the first annual Girl Soldier charity event will take place at Studio 385 in Tribeca. The event will raise funding and awareness to aid and benefit young girls and women in war-ravaged Third and Second World countries. It is the hope of Girl Soldier’s sponsors and planners that it will encourage and nurture concern for girls and women without a public voice. By coming together, we can help these girls progress to a safer and more promising future.
The Organization
Girl Soldier is a registered 501c3 (pending) not-for-profit organization that aims to empower charities for women in war-ravaged communities through special projects, counseling and mentorship. Girl Soldier delivers funds to carefully vetted not-for-profit orgvanizations on the ground within these communities.
Sister Caroline & The Film
The event is scheduled to coincide with the filming and release of Girl Soldier (Caspian Pictures) the film, the story of the kidnapping of 139 girls from the St. Mary’s Boarding School in Uganda. The story revolves around the character of Sister Caroline, a nun, and her courageous attempt to free the girls. The film will star
Uma Thurman as Sister Caroline. Prior to the film, a documentary will be released detailing Sister Caroline’s experiences starting on the night of the kidnapping of the girls and focusing on her campaign to rally the world’s attention. The documentary will also highlight the cause: the horrible prevalence of girls throughout the world having their basic human rights revoked.
