TREND WATCH! Jeffrey Campbell Exclusive at LF!

November 12 2008

 

 

Season after season LF stores (LFSTORES.com) carries a crazy selection of Jeffrey Campbell shoes, seeking out our most unique styles and collaborating with us on colorways, updates and exclusives. The LF trend team is always always on mark when it comes to seasonal must-haves and cant-live-withouts. For those of you who don’t live in or frequent the US cities where LF operates (Boston, LA, NY etc) you can often times get the best of their best JC selection on their webstore. While admittedly their online shopping experience pales in comparisson to the high energy merchandise explosion that is LF retail locations–the online store brings the same unique pieces, forward items and LF look.

For fall, LF has featured many exclusive Jeffrey Campbell stlyles–and in their own colors and combos. The Jeffrey Campbell Camp has become a classic favorite–and LF has returned to it for fall beefing up the straps in deep purple suede and pairing wiht with tights, leggins, shorts and dresses to complete the look. The Camp–while quite sexxy and complicated looking—has been one of the longest running Jeffrey Campbell shoes in its category. The extra padding on the footbed and the soft straps make this shoe a wearable favorite of the LF staff in every location. Pop into to an LF store near you to see the latest Jeffrey Campbell creations–or pop online today to www.LFstores.com to see the best sellers come to life on the screen in front of you.

STOP! Collaborate and Listen!!

The first ever Jeffrey Campbell Collaboration Limited Edition Collection is now available for your greedy little fingers to purchase—and your deserving feet to snug up inside of. Team Jeffrey Campbell has teamed up with the owners of Brooklyn based SHOEMARKET to create a limited edition collection based on the styling of SHOEMARKET owners Erika, Dana and Lauren.  Each of them played a role in producing the line, including a trip to China where Erika and Dana worked with Team JC China!!

 

The concept behind the collection is simple: Vintage Concepts for the Urban Nomad. Each style (five in total with a spread of colors) was created with flexibility in mind. Made to pair with lots of apparel and with low heels to provide ease, comfort and walkability–all things the Brooklyn girl needs. In addition to functionality–the shoes possess crafted expertise and perfect attention to details, styling, and color combinations.


 

SHOEMARKET has also just launched their first ever web store–where you can view and purchase the collection–as well as keep up to speed with S.Market happenings, bloggings and sale info. The collection with Jeffrey Campbell is very limited edition and is being sold at five stores nationally. Each style is 1 of only 120 pairs in the entire world! Do the Math girl—you wanna fell special don’t you?


The shoes are available now at SHOEMARKET and will be while supplies last. The shoes come in a new box which was hand designed by PacNW graphic artist/mensa genius Cameron Jennings. (www.cameronjennings.com). This collection and new box series is very special to us here at Jeffrey Campbell–and is just one more example of how important a role our small boutique accounts play in our operatsions. We would like to send a giant thanks to the entire SHOEMARKET staff for your efforts and patience in launching this group of amazing shoes.

 

Shoemarket employee James, (I know I know…adorable..get in line) said that “The Collection was selling really well–and that everyone is responding to it.” He then looked at me and was like…”but I’m on break.”

Cowboys and Indians–Jeffrey Campbell Comes in PEACE!

November 10 2008

“A little bit classic western–styled with a ton of urban madness” best describes two of the hottest sellers from the Jeffrey Campbell F/W08 collection. Just at retail, and already blowing out are the companion shoes LANDON and OAKLEY. These two styles take hints from classic cowboy and indian shapes–and rework them to make the feel more modern and current. In a recent interview on trends, Jeffrey himself was overheard saying:

      “It’s not so much about ONE giant trend–but rather encompassing many looks and keeping all of them fun and fresh. It’s about embellished classics, reworked basics, and amped up staples.”

Well, it seems that team JC have hit it on the head again—seen below are the two hottest new looks from “Ranch” Jeffrey Campbell. Landon a deluxe suede mini-cowboy booty was inspired by Jeffrey’s youngest daughter who helped develop the first prototype while on vacation with her father in asia this summer. Low shaft and soft suede keep Landon young and casual, ready for jeans, leggings, tights, or anything that comes across its path!!

And to accompany the western edge of Landon is the Oakley Moc. Oakley, with classic moccasin details and shapes is ramped up with layers of fringe and overall studding detail to toe an ankle. Navajo meets rock-and-roll has never looked so good! Available in a myriad of pop colors, shown here in basic black, the Oakley is ready for adventure both in and and out of the Wild Wild West.

Both styles are available now at retail—above colorways are available online @ www.shopbop.com.

Jeffrey Campbell clients, Betty’s Divine brings to Missoula just what it needs, a little “divine.” Jeffrey Campbell asked the questions…and the owners answered!

JC: WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT HAVING A STORE IN A SMALL CITY?
BD: Seeing our merch EVERYWHERE. Setting trends with our weird buying habits. Really knowing our customers and buying for THEM!
JC: WHICH IS WORSE…CROCS OR UGGGGGS?
BD: We can’t stand behind either shoe style, neither do we trust the opinions or fashion ways of wearers of such dastardly footwear. HOWEVER: Old people kinda look cute when wearing crocs AND since we do live in the cold Northern regions, Uggs do serve a purpose…they’re warm and soft and slipper-like on cold blustery days. Stuffing your sweaty manicured feet into a pair on a hot day in LA does not serve a purpose. I suppose you could call us practical fashionistas.
JC: WHO DESCRIBES YOU STORE…MADONNA OR MYLEY?
BD: Madonna by a landslide. We embrace all faces of Madge’s steez wrapped up in one warm and fuzzy store: Desperately-seeking lacey material girl,classic pin up blonde bombeshell,  health conscious yogini extradorniarre with beautifully toned arms,socially conscious latina powerhouse, spirtual explorer and 
dance queen, hello!
JC: WHO IF ANY ARE THE CURRENT BETTY DIVINE CELEBRITY CRUSHES!?
BD: Cher. Post-baby Nicole Richie. Lisa Bonet, then and now. Maggie Gyllenhaal. Jemaine from Flight of The Conchords.
JC: WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE LABELS, BRAND INSPIRATIONS AND CLIENT FAVORITES?
BD: Well, uh, Jeffery Campbell…InSight, Prairie Underground, Miz Mooz, Cheap Monday, Alternative, small regional designers keepin’ it real.
