Shoes Reach New Heights with the Black Milk X Jeffrey Campbell Collaboration

by

Lita Fab in Sick of Men, $199.95

Night Lita in Rainbow Galaxy, $249.95

When it comes to pushing the fashion envelope in footwear design, Jeffrey Campbell continues to shock and awe us with his skills and imagination. In true daredevil style, the JC girl is undaunted by the hype of her” can’t-touch-me platform,” a true collector of the latest, greatest, statement-making shoes.

The latest Jeffrey Campbell shoe collaboration is with Black Milk Clothing,  now available for pre-order,  only at Solestruck.com. This idiosyncratic alliance makes sense in its own odd way. Black Milk Clothing is most well-known for their patterned leggings, from Beetlejuice stripes to Galaxy prints, the way-out patterns shun the trends that guide the popular fashion world. Jeffrey Campbell creates shoes from a vintage angle, also with the bias  for a street style sentiment. The new collection flaunts the “Sick of Men” print and a “Galaxy” print, to name few, in heels and platforms that just plain rock.

Go ahead, stop traffic.

Alberta Ferretti for Impulse

by

In an astonishing collection of 24 pieces, Alberta Ferretti for Impulse (at Macy’s), a limited edition capsule collection, is as ladylike as it is sensual. The light, summer clothing is designed for the strong, seductive woman as evidenced in the ad campaign. The ads feature an Italian woman against the stunning backdrop of Positano. Bohemian flairs are coupled with garden party fashions, heavily influenced by Ferretti’s Italian heritage.

Oranges, pinks, and teals are offset by more refined whites and tans, with the standout pieces certainly being the dresses. Whether you prefer maxi or mini, you’ll vibe with the beautiful options, and perhaps even struggle to pick one.

Alberta Ferretti for Impulse will launch April 17th, 2012 in 185 stores Macy’s nationwide and at Macys.com.

Aldo RISE: Designer Collaborations for SS12

by

Faster by Mark Fast “Cregger”

JW Anderson “Weatherbee”

Aldo RISE, the latest collaboration endeavor between Aldo and innovative, fresh design talent, is an ascent into fashion-forward footwear for Spring 2012.

Meet the designers working with Aldo to turn their visions into being, a deed designers only dream of: JW Anderson, Faster by Mark Fast, Christian Cota, Cushnie Et Ochs, Libertine, and Preen.

The name of the game is presence, as each designer creates a unique look all their own. For instance, the stiletto makes a sharp comeback with JW Anderson’s Weatherbee ($155), an unbeatable look for a night out on the town. While, Mark Fast’s platform Cregger pump ($155), available in both patent and suede, is both sexy and bright, standing out in an entirely different way.

Libertine “Allor“

Preen “Paider”

Libertine’s printed wedge Allor platform ($155) is the love child of rebellion and practicality, an ideal look with spring’s fantastic dresses, skirts and shorts. Or try Preen’s color blocked Paider heels ($155) to transition you from the office to date night. Romantic and feminine, these are spot-on  with spring’s pastel trend craze.

To shop, click here. Each designer certainly “rises” to the occasion!
