Stuart Weitzman

Stuart. He designs and produces two collections a year of shoes and bags, plus one collection for the Oscars.
He is loved by actresses, internationally successful, and was born in New York, the son of a footwear manufacturer known as Mr. Seymour.
At the age of twenty-four he replaced his father and continued production in Elda, near Alicante, in Spain, production that has now attained the volume of 2 million pairs per year.
There are twelve single-label shops in the United States and twelve more around the world, while the headquarters is in New York.
He is famous for having produced a million-dollar pair of shoes: a sandal-qua-jewelry made of platinum and 64-carat diamonds, worn by Laura Harring during the Oscar ceremonies in 2002.
The value of the shoes were then donated to charity, a subject toward which Weitzman is especially sensitive: every year he organizes an event on behalf of breast cancer research.
He sends various stars a white satin stiletto-heeled pair of shoes, which they paint, decorate, or simply sign. Then he auctions them off for charity.
