Rachel Roy Adds Footwear to Her Designer Résumé

Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 08:34:42 PST

Rachel Roy has been keeping busy with her supercute and affordable Rachel Rachel Roy diffusion line and her gorgeous signature collection, and now, the designer has added another notch on her designer belt: shoes. The Rachel Roy shoe collection is a luxe transition from the designer's RRR footwear line: think pumps and booties - inspired by her mentor Manolo Blahnik - made in suede, calf, snake, pony hair, and glitter. Of course, such shoe decadence comes at a price; the collection is set to range within the $200 to $600 mark. “Here’s the thing about me and shoes,” said Roy. “I really feel like it’s the one item that, no matter how much you make, it is worth saving your pennies for.” We agree. Check out more pictures from the collection in the slideshow and tell us what you think in the comments section below.
