Shoe Woo, the concept shoe store owned by retailer Jones Apparel Group, will land in Manhattan Oct. 1 across from Bloomingdales' 59th street flagship. Shoe Woo sells shoes that encompass all the footwear brands of Jones Apparel, which includes Nine West, Enzo Angiolini and Anne Klein to name a few. It already operates two stores in the tri-state area, but this is the first store to open in Manhattan.
As if going into a Nine West store isn't enough, now you can shop from a dizzing array of shoes from the retailer's different shoe lines propped in boudior style cabinets. The Shoe Woo experience promised a "kid in a couture candy store" type of euphoria, where shoppers can try on shoes underneath a giant crystalized stiletto.

Fashion Week Review: Christian Siriano
For risk of overexposure, it may serve well for reality TV show star Christian Siriano to temper down on putting his name on everything from shoes to makeup lines. Yet, after seeing his Spring 2010 collection, it is easily understood why retailers flock to him for a bit of his creative touches.
The Siriano runway is dominated with lush couture that are elegant and sophisticated. For such a young designer, Siriano created looks that were mature beyond his years. Yet, his looks exuded a vibrance which only a young designer could make.
Take for example his pairings of punky platforms with spiky heels with couture-like ball gowns (and the silk falle and gazar!), or an elegant pantsuit cut beautifully with a wicked strong shoulder.
It is no wonder why luxury retailer Saks Fifth Avenue recently installed some of Siriano's Fall 2009 creations on its design floor labeled "29 designers that defined style." To be included among the ranks of other design masters such as Oscar De La Renta, or Marc Jacobs (or YSL!), it is the biggest complement any young designers could receive. -- Edith Moy.
