J.Crew Yearns to Make Shoes With Christian Louboutin or Manolo Blahnik

After witnessing the success of the Pierre Hardy for Gap collection last year, J.Crew creative director Jenna Lyons is itching for her own designer shoe range. “What we’d really like to do, especially for women’s, is a shoe collaboration where we maybe go to someone like Manolo Blahnik or Christian Louboutin,” she said. But! Louboutin told us he turned down an H&M collaboration last year, and didn’t want to pursue a one-off line with anyone else. Maybe Lyons can rope in Blahnik. [Fashionologie]
