At an event last weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting the multi-talented shoe designer, Vince Camuto, and his wife Louise (Note: Louise also serves as President of Marketing & Communications for Camuto Group). It was easy to see his passion for design and love for his brand as he lit up talking about the different styles and upcoming ad campaign. Dillard’s NorthPark held the event and it was an afternoon filled with models, pink and shoes galore. I’ve always been a huge fan of this line because they are stylish, classic and above all, comfortable. The fall line is full of feminine, dramatic and equestrianesque styles featuring everything from ballet flats to over the knee boots and everything in between. A few of my personal favorites are the toffee-leathered shooties with three romantic rosettes (pictured below) and the over the knee “Lexine” boots that can be worn folded over as well.
Vince Camuto is the founder and CEO of Camuto Group, and is known for co-founding and establishing Nine West Inc. where he served as creative director. He also designs shoes for Jessica Simpson, BCBGeneration and Banana Republic among others. That being said, I must say that his namesake brand is my favorite.
The leather is soft and the soles can carry me throughout the day without missing a beat. I have very flat feet and the support in these shoes is incredible. And it’s no longer all about the shoes. In 2009, Camuto launched a line of handbags that fit every need. There are spacious handbags for the girl on the go (This would be someone like me who carries everything around but the kitchen sick) and styled up clutches for a night out on the town.
You can find Vince Camuto on Facebook and Twitter @VinceCamutoColl. Also take a look at his blog Sole Purpose. You can see pictures from the event on the Face Doctorette Facebook page.
What is your favorite style in the fall collection?
