Stuart Weitzman is in Town!

If you know shoes, you know Stuart Weitzman.  The man knows shoes.  (He was even called in to design the glass slippers for the new production of Cinderella on Broadway!)  And boy, do I have good news for you: he’s coming to Philadelphia tomorrow!  He’ll be talking at the National Museum of American Jewish History, kicking off their “Dreamers and Doers” speaker series.  You’ll get to meet the man behind shoes such as these:

The Marie Gladiator Suede Bootie is so detailed!  Eight straps up the front (with studs on both sides), unexpected cutouts around the ankle (love!), a four-inch heel, and a zipper up the back to let you in.  Available from Neiman Marcus for $440.

I am such a sucker for a smoking slipper.  The Lys is a red (or black) suede loafer with an impeccably beaded crystal fleur de lis up the front and a small square heel.  Sophistication and cool to spare!  Yours for $390 from Nordstrom.

The Plunge Satin Bootie is so sexy—sleek black satin, a pointed toe and pointing at the back of the ankle, an upper with a plunging cut, a four-inch heel, and a big bow.  Find them at Saks for $455.

These are TOO FUN.  The Portholes is a neutral wedge with flair: bright pink at the heel and toebed, and orange straps that go every which way—including through the 3.5-inch wedge!  And the strap across the toe!  Gold-rimmed portholes make this truly something special.  And hey, they’re on sale at Zappos for $249 instead of $375!

These are obviously the work of a master craftsman… one that you can meet!  Talk about being in the presence of greatness!

The event is tomorrow, June 12, at the National Museum of American Jewish History.  It begins at 7:00 PM, and you can get tickets for $25 (or $18, if you’re a member).  Replicas of some of Weitzman’s most famous designs (including the glass slippers) will be on display!
