A Timeless Holiday Gift

By Jane Gershon Weitzman

NEW YORK, NEW YORK,  September 2014 - The perfect book for shoe lovers, fashionistas, art aficionados, and a timeless holiday treasure, Jane Gershon Weitzman's ART & SOLE features shoes made from highly unique materials - feathers, paper, ceramic, metal, resin, playing cards, corrugated cardboard, Swarovski crystals, even fresh flowers and frosting - with remarkable intricate construction. ART & SOLE showcases approximately 150 shoes of the more than 1,000 Jane Weitzman discovered and commissioned for the windows of the first Stuart Weitzman retail shop on Madison Avenue in the mid 1990s. Using the best of this collection, many of the shoes are in printed form for the first time.

With an introduction by Jane Weitzman, the shoes are featured along with brief, identifying captions, in an impeccably designed, graphically compelling, package making a timeless holiday gift for anyone on your list. Author Jane Weitzman is continuing her cross-country tour where she has had speaking engagements at over 40 locations nationwide including The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh and the Mint Museum in North Carolina. Throughout her tour she has been speaking book fairs and for charities such as the Philadelphia Aids Fund, and local Breast Cancer events as well as many others.

A vibrant red cloth case with an elaborate crystal shoe embossed in detail on the front cover, gilded edging and a satin ribbon marker make this book an irresistible treasure and great conversation starter for the shoe lover, art enthusiast, or interior designer worldwide.

Everyone is wearing dungarees - Yes that 90s fashion trend

Denim Dungarees - Cotton On
Sunglasses - Supa Sundays

OK I know your mum used to put you in them whilst you were younger, but trust me it is time to revisit that childhood memory. Everyone from Katie Holmes to Blake Lively has hopped on board. From baggy, tailored, slim fit, denim, cropped to patterned, this 90's fashion faux-pas is making a come back and you have to give it a try. With so many different options available and so many ways to wear them, it is very rare that you will wear them the same with everyone else.
Alexa Chung is the Queen of Dungarees. Whether it is smart or casual, she has a way of dressing them to suit every occasion.
