Today Saks Fifth Avenue has unveiled it’s largest shoe department in New York City. What makes it the largest shoe department ever? Could it be the 10,000 pairs of shoes or that fact that the department warrants its own zip code (10022)? Yep, its that serious. A sea of stilettos, boots, sandals, mules, high heels, kitten heels, and more.
Actress Debra Messing and celebrity stylist Phillip Bloch were there today to cut the purple ribbon. Bloch stated that “You couldn’t have kept us away. When they asked me to come I thought Saks…ahhh …Debra …ahhh …shoes …ahhh…this could be trouble.” I would be in trouble too if I were surrounded by a pair of $1700 gold Christian Louboutin heels (which Bloch couldn’t resist so he tried them on himself).
Messing’s mind was clearly blown, “This is mind-blowing, awe-inspiring, titillating; it makes me feel like I want to dance throughout the entire room. It’s also sort of frustrating because with 10,000 styles it’s too much and you just can’t have it all.” Her first purchase was a pair of Louboutin peep-toe pumps for $950.
Just hearing about their excitement (reported from Fashion Week Daily) has me green with envy. Talk about a kid in the candy store. I get all giddy inside DSW and that is like the bruised fruit warehouse compared to a gigantic Saks. If you find yourself in New York’s Cities Saks, trek on up the 8th floor and buy me a pair of Louboutins. Or just tell me how much fun you had drooling over 10,000 pairs of shoes.
