Yes, I like designers who have focused on shoes mainly too. Actually both christian louboutin and manolo blahnik sell clutches and bags too, as well as jimmy choo.1. Manolo Blahnik
2. Christian Louboutin
3. Jimmy Choo
4. Louis Vuitton
5. Hermes
I don't know why, but I prefer designers who only make shoes. Maybe cuz I feel they really know their speciality? That's why JC dropped to 3, when a few years ago, they would've been 1.
My personal top 5:
1) Christian Louboutin (my shoe God who manages to read ALL my shoe dreams; if I were forced to wear only one brand in footwear I'd gladly give it all up for CL's....from basics to casuar wear to professional wear to evening wear, he's got everything covered under one roof and does it all to perfection, at least IMO.....gosh in a second life I'd love to work for CL PR)
2) Lanvin by Alber Elbaz
3) Pierre Hardy (and the shoes he designs for Balenciaga) -- so architectural....unique....one-of-a-kind
4) Nine West (not expensive but comfy & cute shoes that I don't have to worry about for long-distance walking/shopping, when bad weather strikes, etc.)
and lastly.....well I don't think this is for "every girl" as I know a lot of people probably can't stand vegetarian shoes, but I guess from a design perspective (and my personal taste), I adore
5) Stella McCartney - always so EDGY....love it!
