"   Giles Deacon&amp;#039;s SS09 collection. Photo: Imaxtree  It&amp;#039;s actually shocking that it&amp;#039;s taken this long for a mid-range shoe company to jump on the collaboration bandwagon. Both H&amp;amp;amp;M and Target have proven that with the right effort\u2014and the right names\u2014it&amp;#039;s an incredibly lucrative way to reach a new customer. But finally, yesterday, Nine West announced that they&amp;#039;ll be working with Sophie Theallet for a spring collection of shoes and accessories, and then Giles Deacon for fall. Theallet, who won the CFDA in 2009 and dresses Michelle Obama every once in awhile, will include handbags, as well as ballet flats and a raffia wedge sandal\u2014all ranging from just $79 to $109. Her collection hits Nine West stores on May 1st. You&amp;#039;ll have to wait a little longer for shoes from Giles Deacon`s Fred Allard, Nine West&amp;#039;s creative director said Deacon&amp;#039;s shoes were &amp;quot;futuristic, modern and exciting.&amp;quot; Is it wrong to hope for a little Pacman detailing a la Spring 09?
