Sarah Jessica Parker’s New Shoe Line

I am super excited to share that my style idol, Sarah Jessica Parker will launch a new line of shoes and bags with partner George Malkemus, CEO of Manolo Blahnik.  A mere 15 years (to the day) after first hitting our screens as Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, and the actress has finally announced that she’s making her design debut – to be titled simply, SJP.

“In a silly way, I think it’s what people have expected of me most because of Carrie Bradshaw,” the 48-year-old Sex and the City actress confessed to a Vogue reporter.

In the hit HBO series, Sex and the City, Carrie had something of a shoe addiction. One of the most-quoted lines from the show was, “I’ve spent $40,000 on shoes and I have no place to live? I will literally be the old woman who lived in her shoes!”

The actress is taking inspiration from “great old-school labels like Charles Jourdan and Maud Frizon” for her collection, with the aim of offering “something different” – in terms of shape, color, and price. Think pared-back, simple and elegant, with pumps and flats priced between $200- $300 and bags for around $700.

The SJP collection will be produced entirely in Europe and New York City, exclusively being sold at Nordstrom department stores, and it is expected to appear early next year.

I cannot wait!!!
