Stuart Weitzman
Known for creating more than 300 new styles of shoes and handbags each year, Stuart Weitzman is a well-known, well-respected designer who makes a point of treating every female customer like a princess. Though Weitzman’s father was a shoe designer and he enjoyed sketching in his free time, Weitzman did not always intend on designing. He presented a custom shoe to his father on a whim, and his father – both proud and impressed – immediately had the shoe produced on a mass scale for consumers.
Stuart Weitzman is best known for using distinctive materials such as cork, wallpaper and 24-karat gold in his designs. Paired with his renowned attention to detail, it is no wonder why his shoes are now sold everywhere from the United States to France to Japan. But even with his ever-expanding shoe empire, Weitzman remains hands-on with his business, serving as a pattern-maker and overseeing his shoes through the entire creation process from start to end. Some sources claim that the designer’s work-week is a 100 hour work week.
Stuart Weitzman shoes can be found at Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale’s. Customers interested in seeing the complete line can visit www.stuartweitzman.com.
