Actress Sarah Jessica Parker has finally revealed plans to launch her own shoe line, which will be known as SJP.
Actress Sarah Jessica Parker played the shoe-obsessed character, Carrie Bradshaw, on HBO's "Sex and the City" and viewers adored her. Finally after 15 years, the actress has revealed her plans to launch her own shoe line which will be known as SJP. The shoe line is a collaboration between the actress and Manolo Blahnik CEO George Malkemus.
Talking to Vogue about her plans, she said, "In a silly way, I think it's what people have expected of me most because of Carrie Bradshaw. Because I got to play that role, I wore a lot of shoes and by default I learned an enormous amount."
"It's hard to walk away from that," she admits.
Revealing some plans she has for the shoe line, Jessica Parker said that she intends on using colors that people or other shoe lines don't really have. She says her range of footwear would include beautiful color combinations everyone would wish they had in their closets.
"We're putting new colors together that people don't typically do, just beautiful combinations that you wish existed in your closet," she told Vogue. "And in terms of bags, thinking about that period of the Seventies into the Eighties, what those women were carrying, taking away the bells and the whistles and hardware and really making it about the bag."
The shoe line will be sold exclusively through U.S. retailer Nordstrom early next year. Vogue revealed the expected pricing to be $200 to $300 for pared-back, simple and elegant, with pumps and flats and bags for under $700.
