Volleying for Cancer
Last night, Stuart Weitzman put the paddle to the metal in support of ovarian cancer research, hosting a charity ping-pong tournament and silent auction in New York. All proceeds from the event will be presented to Dr. Marsha Moses of Boston’s Folkman Research Institute, who has been doing pioneering research to help squash the disease.
Walking on Glass
Single girls with rodent issues can complete their 21st century fairytale with glass slippers from Maison Martin Margiela. The limited-edition heels are the latest eccentric accessories—or art pieces—in the Belgium’s portfolio of conversational designs, including a plated brass hospital bracelet.
And with a price tag of $1,277 each—yes, the shoes are sold separately—a fairy godmother, or a wealthy grandmother, may come in handy. Personally, I’m holding out for ruby slippers.
Running in Heels
Fashion footwear company Michael Antonio stepped out in support of Stop Child Trafficking Now (SCTN) on Sunday, Sept. 27, sponsoring a Stilettos Run to kick off a fundraising walk in support of the cause. Despite rainy weather, approximately 320 people (both women and men!) participated in the New York race, setting a new Guinness world record.
Carrie On
Back in Carrie Bradshaw’s well-heeled stride, Sarah Jessica Parker made a glittery return to Manhattan streets in gold Christian Louboutin pumps as filming for the “Sex and the City” sequel began this week. Passers-by and paparazzi got a first glimpse of SATC fashion as Parker and co-star Chris Noth filmed outside a luxury apartment.
Macy’s Fills Big Shoes
Chicago likes things big: big skyscrapers, big wind, big b-ball players and even giant silver beans. So it is fitting that a city coined “The City of Big Shoulders” is also the stomping ground of a slew of women with larger than average size feet.
