The question of rigueur is: Why it took Sarah Jessica Parker so long to launch her own shoe line? It’s been 10 years since she put away the Carrie Bradshaw shoes, and it was this character’ style and obsession with shoes in particular what gave her a fan base in the fashion world. After her two attempts to enter the industry with her budget clothing line, Bitten, and then working for free as chief creative officer for Halston, she feels that this is it. Just like her alter ego in Sex and the City, she loves Manolo Blahniks. That’s why it makes perfect sense that, when the time came, she took the phone and called Manolo Blahnik’s CEO, George Malkemus, who immediately jumped in to partner with her on this adventure called SJP. Nordstrom was the perfect venue and for her fans it’s never too late. Check out her designs (she actually designs) available exclusively at www.nordstrom.com/SJP
