" Capitalizing on the cult status of her Botkier Bags (come on you&amp;#039;ve seen them slung over the sinewy shoulders of Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, Heidi Klum, Kate Bosworth and Angelina), fashion-photographer-turned designer Monica Botkier, is launching an extensive collection of footwear. Just like the bags, Botkier&amp;#039;s shoes have the same bold hardware, wearable colors, and fine Italian craftsmanship we&amp;#039;ve come to love. The inaugural shoe line consists of nineteen different styles ranging from flats to sky-scraping stilettos. Eye-catching\u2014yet tasteful\u2014metallic ornaments, snakeskin nudes, royal blue and fuchsia-stained leathers are also in the mix. Consider the edgy ballet with dew-drop hardware and, mod peep-toe booties\u2014perfectly named &amp;quot;Hot Mama.&amp;quot; For a less &amp;quot;Louboutin&amp;quot; look try the &amp;quot;Sloane Horseshoe Sandal,&amp;quot; which features completely original metalwork attached to curvy black straps. So sexy is this shoe, wearers swear it incites fetishes. Another favorite is the &amp;quot;Ginger Metallic Ring Flat.&amp;quot; With hammered gold, you might expect these on the soles of Aphrodite herself. Yet, casual and comfortable, you&amp;#039;ll likely throw them on with shorts and a white-tee. Shoes and just about everything Botkier (bags, belts, and little leather things) are available at Barney&amp;#039;s New York, Fred Segal, Harvey Nichols and Neiman Marcus boutiques nationwide. Of course you can always find what you&amp;#039;re looking for online at botkier.com. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
