Singer Joss Stone signed a deal with footwear company Nine West to create an exclusive shoe collection. Coco Perez reports it will be sold in limited edition at the end of August.
This new collection will be part of the brand’s Vintage America Collection for Fall 2010. Stone is working on the designs with Nine West Creative Director Fred Allard.
This is a funny gig for the artist who often performs with no shoes. Joss Stone says, "I am excited to collaborate with Fred and to couple my artistic visions with his fabulous design sensibility. My style is constantly evolving and is shaped by my love of art and endless imagination. Each of my tattoos holds a very special meaning for me. I love that the [collection] will incorporate some of my unique tattoo designs to give the line an even more personal connection."
For his part, Fred Allard added, "I am constantly enamoured with people’s personal sense of style in all aspects of their life. Taking inspiration from Joss’s unique free spirit, effortless creativity and beautifully designed tattoos, this collection will incorporate her mind, body and soul to create some wonderfully imaginative footwear."
You can pre-order the shoes on Ninewest.com starting in July.
All profits from the sale of these shoes will go to the Soles4Souls organization.
