“Men I may not know, but shoes — shoes I know,” Carrie Bradshaw of “Sex and the City”
Sarah Jessica Parker, the 48-year-old actress who brought the shoe obsessed Carrie Bradshaw to life, is launching her own much-anticipated shoe line in collaboration with Nordstrom. The colorful line, called the SJP Collection, includes over 25 Italian-crafted shoes, handbags and a classic “Manhattan” trench coat, all inspired by Parker’s personal style. About her line she stated:
“I’ve taken inspiration from things in my life such as the grosgrain ribbons I tied in my hair as a girl, to the flower accents from the ‘Sex and the City’ wardrobe, to references to classics styles form the late ’70s and early ’80s,” she said in statement. “I’m a firm believer in quality and timelessness and have created this collection with the hopes that women will love wearing it for years to come.”
Parker, who collaborated with CEO of Manolo Blahnik George Malkemus, will sell her shoes exclusively at Nordstrom and Nordstrom.com beginning February 28. Prices will start at $195. Also, there will several pop-up shops in New York City and select cities. Here are the dates:
February 28-March 2 – Pop-Up Shop, New York City (372 West Broadway)
March 5 – Nordstrom Flagship, Seattle
March 6 – The Grove, Los Angeles
March 7 – Michigan Avenue, Chicago
