collection, the first of its kind on ShopBAZAAR.com. Four of the
magazine's editors, Fashion Market and Accessories Director
Nicole Fritton, Style Director
Joanna Hillman, Executive
Accessories Editor Sam Broekema and
Senior Accessories Editor Amanda
Weiner, collaborated with Stuart
Weitzman to co-design their perfect spring shoes, from

metallic flats. Starting March

"We are delighted to partner with Stuart
Weitzman on the first-ever capsule collection specifically
created for ShopBAZAAR," says Carol
Smith, Vice President, Publisher and Chief Revenue Officer
of Harper's BAZAAR. "The BAZAAR reader considers shoes a crucial
element—and often the defining element—of her individual look. This
collection reinforces ShopBAZAAR's position as a leader in online
shopping and ownable style."
The Harper's BAZAAR Stuart Weitzman capsule collection, which
embodies each editor's distinctive personal style and Stuart Weitzman's impeccable craftsmanship, is
priced from $298-$398. Below are the
four styles:
- "The NUDIST"— Fashion Market and Accessories Director
Nicole Fritton co-designed this chic
leg-lengthening black linen shoe with a streamlined silhouette as a
new take on one of Stuart Weitzman's
most popular designs.
- "The ROSY" — Metallics are having a moment. With that in mind,
Style Director Joanna Hillman
co-designed her rose gold sandals for optimum comfort and
street-chic appeal.
- "The FLAMES" — Executive Accessories Editor Sam Broekema put a fresh twist on the classic
pointy-toe pump in a bold pimento orange shade that made a vivid
impression on the spring runways.
- "The RIVIERA" — Inspired by this season's lineup of chic
slides, Senior Accessories Editor Amanda
Weiner updated a sporty sandal in a rich vecchio nappa
leather with a utilitarian sole and slightly lifted heel.
"Through the years, Harper's BAZAAR has always been such a
fashion bible for me, so it was an absolute thrill to be the first
to collaborate with their editors on this exciting project," said
Stuart Weitzman. "From sky-high
stilettos to chic flats, there is something for every woman in this
capsule collection."
