I really think that shoes can make and change an outfit. If you go out in the morning to work in a simple black dress with any kind of flat, maybe a sweater, and you have to go to something that afternoon where you can’t go home to change, you can take that same black dress and put on a dressy wrap our jacket. Then add a great pair of heels and you have a totally different look. If you wear a simple dress you can always wear fabulous shoes.

The Art & Sole of Stuart & Jane Weitzman

Stuart Weitzman has a passion for giving that extends as wide as the brand's selection of specialty shoe sizes. Jane Weitzman, Stuart's wife, spearheaded a partnership between the company and The New York Asian Women's Center (NYAWC), an organization that helps women and their children overcome domestic violence.

The collaboration coincided with the release of her new book "Art & Sole", all sales of which went to benefiting the organization. 

Flipping through the coffee table piece, you'll discover fantastic illustrations and finished footwear made from some of the strangest materials in designs you might find in a Dalí painting.

From cardboard Gaga-esque wedges to curved metal ankle straps resembling Frank Gehry's architecture; these shoes are true works of art commissioned to adorn Stuart Weitzman's Madison Avenue storefront.

Despite being married to a shoe designer, Jane isn't particularly obsessed with shoes as one would think. She sticks to Stuart's because "I see him as a generous giving person. A special person." Although with C-width feet, Stuart's selection happens to be very accommodating.
