FROM THE DESIGNER
Behind the Design: Annalise Slingback Pump
Ever wonder what it's like to design this season's must-have shoes? From trend research to sketches to samples, Senior Design Director Danielle Kalish and her team puts their passion for must-have style and comfort into every pair.
Here, Danielle takes us behind the design of our new favorite slingback pumps: the Annalise. With a softly pointed toe, slingback strap with built-in stretch, and our trusted Soft System® comfort technology, you’ll love wearing these timeless slingback shoes all season long.
What makes this pump special?
“Modern and clean dress styles are trending right now, so we really wanted to straighten the heel and give it a more sculptural, modern look than where we’ve been before. And then for the upper, we took off all ornaments, buckles, or hardware detailing and just left it very clean. It feels really chic and modern, and it’s definitely what’s happening with fashion.”
How would you recommend styling it?
“I think the Annalise is super versatile, it can be styled with anything from a suiting look to a dress to a pleated skirt. It’s honestly a go-to for me, and I feel like it goes with everything in your closet.”
