Karl Lagerfeld decided to make an, unusual, announcement at the tech conference one that has people buzzing! He announced a new line called “Karl” that Net-A-Porter is launching early next year. With the site launching on January 25 people are already excited by his venture. Karl will be the first designer brand to sell exclusively online.

The collection is impressive with over 100 pieces with price points that will attract a wide audience. Prices will start around the $95 USD mark and work upwards to $450 USD. Designer meets affordability! At this price point this collection is sure to attract a large market that previously could not afford such designers. Combining the potential new market and his current devote followers the new line is anticipated to be highly successful. With this new line, Karl Lagerfeld has a new logo to go with it and a fresh new marketing campaign which includes social media, pop-up stores and a revamped website to name a few.

A New Heel In Town!

By: Jayne Peres

There was no doubt we’d soon see some hot yet very different shoes hit the market. Original shoe designer Taylor Reeve is a California graphic designer and creator of the street brand “Taylor Says”. The brand features fun pieces, which are all unique with hand-painted finishing’s. The insoles of the brands stilettos have become artist Taylor Reeve’s canvass to paint on creating one-of-a-kind masterpieces. In my opinion, these heels definitely have made a spot next to the great Christian Louboutin.

Christian Louboutin, the king of stilettos, has grown upon his shoe empire through the last two decades. He’s come a long way since the early 90’s with the debut of his signature red soles and has become untouchable. The red sole epidemic has grown so large everyone wants in on the action. Taylor Says stiletto's are priced at $250- $350 and are an amazing substitute for those of us whom can't afford more than one pair of Louboutin's. You can even have these shoes custom made with your own ideas or you can allow Taylor to use her artistic creativity to create you a pair. There is no doubt these shoes will make you the center of attention in a crowd.

You can find Taylor Says heels online at www.etsy.com and coming soon at taylorsays.com.
