Here’s some Thursday afternoon shoe p0rn for you. Vera Wang’s new Spring 2012 shoe collection seems to be a big upgrade from her previous offerings. These just scream I’m gonna tie you up and do thangs, but real ladylike though. No word yet on just how much this collection will run you. But, would you rock ‘em?
Unlike the models there, our fearless fashionista Kristy Jones took a bite of the Big Apple at Fashion Week. She found something free and fab for our Brewchies in the New York City area.

If you’re in NYC this week, hit up the Allure Lounge. It’s sponsored by, who else-Allure magazine, Maybelline-the official makeup sponsors of #NYFW and a host of cool companies. Open daily from 9am until 7pm through September 15th, the star treatment is given to the public for free.
There are makeup makeovers, hairstyling by the Ricardo Rojas salon, lingerie demos & much more.
The best part is after you’re all glammed up ‘n stuff, the Allure staff will send you a pic!
Allure Lounge is located at the Empire Hotel (Broadway & Columbus), just a block away from the Lincoln Center-home of fashion week events.
He’s been known to rock a women’s blouse from time to time, so who better than Kanye West to tell the ladies what to wear? (I guess)
Mr. West will debut his first womenswear collection during Paris Fashion Week. The Spring/Summer 2012 collection will be designed by Louise Goldin. Australian Harper’s Bazaar confirms the show will be October 1st (their fashion editor, Christine Centenera, has been consulting Kanye since March). No one knows what the collection will look like at this point, but his show is already shaping up to be one of the most talked about of the season.
Let’s hope the collection is actually wearable and not jeggings and feathers.
It’s the time of year fashionistas live for and the reason models eat air sammiches; New York Fashion Week! The loyal and very fashionable Brewchie Kristy Jones was front row to catch the glitz and glamour for The Brew.

Mataano & Korto Momolu “Remember” event at the Samsung Experience on Sunday, September 11th at the Time Warner Center. It was an amazing eye feast of the who’s who in urban high fashion from Essence magazine editors to America’s Next Top Model judges. Two fashion shows back to back with all of the excitement of a doubleheader.
First up- bold and bright! If you haven’t heard of Mataano- it’s time to look up these bad ass Somali twins (Ayaan & Idyl Mohallim). Matanno’s spring/summer collection consists of contemporary silhouettes, tropical prints and vibrant colors. Inspired by the 60′s & 70′s, the twins said,” We loved our visit to the island of St. Lucia. Everything was colorful and lush, this collection reflects that essence.”
The second show was Korto Momolu (@kortomomolu) of Project Runway fame. Remember her? She almost won it all. By the looks of her fab collection she’s not crying over spilled milk. Her roots are in Liberia, Africa but this collection explores the artistry of Japan and the Samurai culture. Korto said, “My woman this season is sophisticated, chic and a woman of heightened everyday elegance.”

I have questions about the thought process behind these. Isn’t the concept oxymoronic? When I see high heeled sneakers I envision a whole crew of loud ass train riding chicks rocking various colors that coordinate with their hair weaves, all in short, tight PVC jackets and skinny jeans. Ugh!
Alicia Keys is really pushing the Indian-inspired blinged out forehead look these days. She’s been spotted a few times on the red carpet with the look and, of course, at her summer wedding to Swizz Beatz. But… would you rock it? And where exactly are you going in it? This isn’t exactly what you think of as part of the 9-5, sensible shoes office look. Weigh-in below in the comment section…
Check out these Christian Louboutin for Marchesa booties. I.DIE (and I’d probably literally die if I attempted to walk on those skinny heels). Anywho…they’re fun to look at!
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week kicked off Thursday in New York with lots of ethereal fabrics and muted colors. We figured we’d bring you a few of the early highlights and trendsetting moments (and maybe a few FAILS too… you be the judge).
We’re digging in the crates over here at the Brew! We welcome all our new followers, fans, Twitter family, Facebook Brewshyt-talkers and the like. It’s occurred to us, though, many of you are *really* new to Witches’ Brew and probably haven’t had the chance to check our archives. So here’s a little throwback fashion post…just in time for the end of summer! Enjoy!
Curse the old wife, the cliché-maker and the fashion critic who ever said you can’t wear white after Labor Day! Tradition, be damned!
It’s safe to rock your white, as long as you do it sensibly.
Halle Berry once again graces the cover of Vogue magazine. This time, she’s the cover girl for the mega September issue and she’s rocking a flapper-style bob look. You diggin’ it?
Anywho, in the mag, Halle talks about motherhood, why she’s largely remained silent about her life recently and what she feels is the biggest misconception about her.
“That I am this brooding, twisted, lovesick person who just can’t get it right in life. Every story about me is so heavy and dramatic. That’s not how I do life. But that’s the impression people have, and that’s what keeps getting reiterated. As if I’m still stuck in all the muck of the past. And I am so not.”
The issue hits stands later this month. Jump over to Vogue to read more.

Uh oh! Designer Cesare Paciotti is coming for Christian Louboutin’s sole. The designer launched a new collection that features leather and lace art that can only be seen from the soles of the shoes.
This pair of Snakeskin Lace Up Sandals will set you back $850 and some of the shoes in the collection are encrusted with Swarovski crystals.
So in 2010…maybe a simple red bottom isn’t enough?!?
