Sarah Jessica Parker to Launch Her Own Line of Shoes
Published at | Updated at
ABC/Ida Mae Astute(LOS ANGELES) — Sarah Jessica Parker is putting her best foot forward and launching her own shoe and handbag line called SJP.
Some fifteen years after portraying the shoe-obsessed character, Carrie Bradshaw on HBO’s Sex and the City, Parker has partnered with Manolo Blahnik CEO George Malkemus for the line.
The actress tells Vogue, “In a silly way, I think it’s what people have expected of me most because of Carrie Bradshaw.”
She adds, “Because I got to play that role, I wore a lot of shoes and by default I learned an enormous amount.”
“It’s hard to walk away from that,” she admits.
How does Parker describe her shoe line? She says, “We’re putting new colors together that people don’t typically do, just beautiful combinations that you wish existed in your closet.”
SJP will be sold exclusively at Nordstrom starting next year.
