Carmen Steffens - Fall/Winter 2010 Launch

Brazilian footwear and accessories designer Carmen Steffens hosted a party at their Westfield Fashion Square, Sherman Oaks, location to celebrate the launch of their fall/winter 2010 collection. VIP attendees sipped on wine and nibbled on hors d’oeuvres while trying on an array of seriously HOT shoes.

Before attending the event I noticed a girl in the mall wearing a pair of sky high platforms that were drop dead sexy. I didn’t have a chance to ask her where she bought her killer heels but I found out soon enough. While browsing through Carmen Steffens' latest collection I came across the shoes I had coveted just minutes ago. Walking into Carmen Steffens is like walking into shoe and handbag heaven. The creations are simply stunning. You look in one direction and say, “Oh, I want that,” and then turn around and say, “No, I want that.” Picking just one is a difficult chore. Thankfully, CS shoes are reasonably priced ($200 - $350), so you can purchase 2 or 3 for the price of a pair of high end designer heels.
