Shoe In: Our Latest Footwear Obsessions

by Jennifer Ash

Eager to kick (pun intended) your style game up a notch? From a hot, up-and-coming designer to a new collaboration to keep on your radar (spoiler alert: It involves SJP), allow us to fill you in on our footwear obsessions of the week.

Alexa Wagner

German footwear designer Alexa Wagner is no rookie in the fashion industry: She launched her Milan-based line in 2004 but will be far more widely available (Barneys, Neimans, Saks) starting this spring. Featuring fringe, exotic skins and ankle-wrap details, Wagner's latest range redefines statement shoes in a refreshing way.

Malone Souliers

Our friends at Rachel Zoe Studio introduced us to this launched-last-fall British line, and we instantly fell in love with their quirky take on ladylike styles. Including everything from lace-up pumps in bold colorways to ankle boots with unexpected cut-outs, the collection is perfect for the confident, fashion-forward girl. Poppy Delevingne and Cameron Diaz are proud members of the Malone Souliers fan club, and we now consider ourselves charter members. Get on board.
