Charlotte Olympia

I need a moment. Seriously. I’m trying to gather my thoughts and control my enthusiasm for these Charlotte Olympia shoes. Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Eve, my absolute unwavering new obsession. Truth be told, I have adored shoes every since I was a little girl. Chuck Taylors. YoYos. Sperry Topsiders. Gucci loafers. Louboutins. Trib Twos. I like to think that I am still that little girl from Mississippi, just with better shoes…like Eve. Eve was designed by Charlotte Olympia Dellal.

Charlotte Dellal is a graduate of London’s prestigious Cordwainers College, a school that trained other notable shoe designers like Rupert Sanderson and Jimmy Choo. Ms. Dellal, who launched her Charlotte Olympia shoe line just 4 years ago, creates structural shoes with a very high heel, 5 inches or more. With a nod to old Hollywood glamour, her shoes not only make a statement, but are truly works of art for your feet. And Charlotte is clearly focused on the details. As if any of her shoes needed an exclamation point, Charlotte finishes each sole with a gold spider web in homage to the spider in Charlotte’s Web.

And by the way, Eve is not alone, she has friends–Dolly (above) and Alice too–who are just dying to meet up in my closet. Love, love, love.
