BCBGMaxazria

Since having graced the runways of New York’s Fall Fashion Week in 1996, BCBGMAXAZRIA’s collection of footwear has been worn and adored by celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, Eva Mendes and Sarah Michelle Gellar. The modern, active spirit of the U.S. Fashion world is lucky to have attracted the sense of style that only a designer from the Fashion Capitol of the World could have. A Parisian native, Max Azria blends true European finesse with American functionality into all his footwear. You might even say BCBGMaxAzria footwear is a union between the masculine and femine. You can now hear the delicate clicking and meaningful stomping of women’s heels all over the work place—not just men’s loafers. Max Azria has brought a sense of security to sky high stilettos, with thick straps criss-crossing all the way from the ankle to the toes, holding the foot in place. If you’re trying not to show too much skin, these platforms will allow only a little bit of flesh to peek through the triangles created by the straps, leaving the rest of the foot to the imagination. All of BCBGMaxAzria shoes are alluring in unexpected ways. Take the Diane Ankle-Wrap Heel—is it a boot or is it a strappy sandal? While the ankle is thickly wrapped in a leather sleeve, the vamp of the foot is left entirely bare, with only a thin, teasing strap holding down the toes. The Woven Peep Toe pumps, whether in black leather, maroon suede, or metallic snake print, all feature a wooden platform under the front of the foot that is cut just an inch shorter at the back than the usual pump, giving the shoe the appearance that it is always about to tip—but don’t worry, it wont. Max Azria has always tested the waters with his daring European designs, and he has always gotten great feedback from celebrities and modern, working women alike. With thick straps to secure the front of a foot, to chunky platforms to balance any step, this is functionality at its finest.
