I've recently discovered Walter Steiger while online shopping for winter boots (now that I'm covered in the coat department). At first, I thought it was a new designer in the footwear industry, but au contraire! The brand has been around since early 30s as an exclusive tailored shoe atelier in Paris. Steiger has collaborated with some of the most legendary fashion designers such as Ungaro, Nina Ricci, Sonia Rykiel, Maison Chloé, Calvin Klein, Claude Montana, Oscar de la Renta, Kenzo, Alaïa, and Karl Lagerfeld...not exactly a new kid on the block!
However, it was only recently that the brand hit the North American scene, and therefore caught my attention. Upon sight, I immediately spotted a very Alaïa-esque feel to their design. Without saying, I'm in love with the curved heel/plateform combo, the use of soft python leather and how wearable they all seem. But mostly, the fur utilitarian ankle boots from the last picture has Janet written all over it!!!
