Stuart Weitzman launches first children’s shoe collection

24/09/2007
 
Footwear designer to the Hollywood stars Stuart Weitzman has unveiled his first children’s footwear range, created in collaboration with New York-based Synclaire Brands.

Mr Weitzman’s designs first attracted attention because of the unusual materials featured on the shoes, such as cork, vinyl, wallpaper and even 24-carat gold.

Having started designing footwear for his father’s business in the 1960s, Mr Weitzman’s own shoes are now sold in 45 countries across the globe.

Synclaire Brands, which also manages brands such as American sportswear label Michael Kors, will be responsible for producing and selling the children’s collection.
