"After months of working with the designers and watching ideas and sketches come to life, it's time for the fun part - wearing the shoes! Both lines capture the essence of my style, and I'm looking forward to the reactions as women begin seeing the shoes on the shelves and deciding which ones to add to their closets. I know I have quite a few pairs in mine!" said Fergie.
Brown Shoe created two namesake footwear lines to fully capture the multi-faceted aspects of Fergie's life as an award-winning singer, songwriter and actress - from her on-stage kicks to her red carpet stilettos to her day-in-LA flats. Fergie footwear captures the multi-platinum artist's confident, individual style in a line of sophisticated, sexy footwear with a glam rock influence. Fergalicious by Fergie shoes have a fun, funky attitude inspired by her pop rock persona. Both lines incorporate their own subtle iconic ornamentation and details to represent symbols of importance to Fergie that her fans will recognize, such as her signature tiara emblazoned on a metal button.
"With Fergie's widespread appeal, we needed two distinct footwear collections to capture the right look for the broadest range of consumers. These footwear collections make a piece of Fergie's style available to women across the country. The Fergie brand consumer admires 'Fergie the Fashionista' and wants trend-right shoes that move easily from day to evening. The woman who wears Fergalicious by Fergie relates to 'Fergie the Pop Culture Icon,' and seeks shoes with an edgy look," said Brown Shoe Wholesale President Gary Rich.
Important trends throughout both collections include fashion-focused athletic shoes with a "street" edge, platforms, wedges, flats, gladiator-inspired sandals and wood platforms. Materials such as under-glass patents and waxed and burnished leathers team with metallic details and hardware to create special looks for each line's unique consumer.
Fergie is a three-time Grammy Award winner with four number one singles, including three from her six million-selling debut solo album The Dutchess. She was named Best Pop/Rock Female Artist at the 2007 American Music Awards and Best Female Artist at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, and performed at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards in February 2008. Fergie recently wrapped filming on the movie "Nine", also starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Sophia Loren, Penelope Cruz and Nicole Kidman, and this summer goes on a worldwide tour with The Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am, apl.de.ap and Taboo to promote their new album, The E.N.D.
Brown Shoe's roster of celebrity artist partners includes legendary musician Carlos Santana, country music superstar Reba McEntire and television personality Gretta Monahan.
