Kendall wore a blush strapless dress featuring a delicate fold detail across the top of the bust line, with body contouring paneling and a dramatic volume at the hem. This beautiful shape was created using underlays of netting underneath the hem to support it and an internal corset to secure the dress from bust to waist.

A dramatic back dress train with added volume at the hem creates an hourglass silhouette, shaping Jourdan’s body perfectly. Netting underneath the skirt supports the volume at the hem.

Steve Madden 2014 Spring Collection Out NOW!!

STEVE-MADDEN_lo_2

A rock-and-roll story of young love in the city unfolds for Steve Madden this spring. But not all of Steve Madden‘s life has been as glamorous as one would think. Did you know that he started out with just $1000 to his name and selling shoes out of the boot of his car?  Or that he was put in prison for alleged fraud in April 2005? Nope? Neither did I… Shoes out of a car boot or not, Steve Madden has undoubtedly built a 9 inch empire when it comes to shoes.

His latest Spring 2014 collection campaign is set in Williamsburg, New York and is inspired by young hipster couples that embody the 60’s Brit rock lifestyle. Late nights lead to early morning hangouts around their Brooklyn apartment and atop their roof over-looking the city skyline.

Welcome to Gladiator City. The Steve Madden girl takes her love of vintage to the next level by sporting the styles of the Romans. The GLENDAEL gives a sexy twist to the Gladiator trend by adding height—a stacked platform and heel give her legs for dayssss.
