Behind the scenes access is something most human beings can't resist. That's why I thought you'd appreciate going inside Designing Nine at Nine West, your second favorite shoe designer of 2007. Start by meeting Fred Allard, the creative director who oversees all the fabulous shoes and accessories you crave. Next, go inside the design studio where the creative magic happens. Finally, read The Style Huntress' blog; her job is to travel the world looking for the latest trends. Now you have an idea about the inspiration behind all your Nine West faves. That's VIP status!
