Stuart Weitzman has made a name for himself and
his shoe line thanks to his ability to tread the waters of uniqueness and
incorporate things like cork, Lucite, and 24 carat gold in his shoes.Sold in forty-five countries around the world,
Weitzman continued his family’s shoe factory that his father started in the
1950s.Stuart actually cut his teeth in
the business by designing shoes for the company that eventually became his.Weitzman started a tradition in 2002 by
providing one of a kind ‘million dollar’ shoes to the Oscar nominee of his
choice to wear during the ceremony.Only once has his shoes been declined and that was for the 2007 awards
when Diablo Cody said ‘thanks, but no thanks’.
