One of our favorite women of style is of course Carine Roitfeld, who in our opinion never skips a beat when it comes to all things stylish and fierce. Inspired by his admiration for Roitfeld, Sergio Rossi’s creative director, Francesco Russo, dedicated a pair of  sandals to her called “Dedicated to Carine Roitfeld.” Featuring contrasting suede, snake and patent leather textures in a “caligola” silhouette, all of which combined make us weak in the knees. Available exclusively at Barneys, New York. Top view on the flip. Images courtesy of Sergio Rossi.

A man after our  own hearts, as he understands the strong bond between a woman and her shoes, Francesco Russo, creative director for Sergio Rossi describes his women’s  Spring/Summer 2010 accessories collection for the label as follows:” A shoe defines a woman’s allure. According to its curve, its design, it defines one attitude or another, it provokes different reactions. A shoe inspires an entire range of emotions. I tried to convey these through a dream.  This is the story of a woman who morphs on contact with these shoes. She is connected to a dream of shadows, birds, mermaids….. “And a dream it is indeed! 

 From bright metallics to intricate  fishnet details and cut-outs, we love this  collection , however we think the label can do so much more to rival the Loubous, Lanvins ,  & Zanottis that are running the luxury shoe game lately…Feast your eyes on the  Sergio Rossi beauties on the next page ( Images courtesy of Sergio Rossi).
