Tamara Mellon has long been an arbiter of glamour, but the designer's most recent collaboration with Frame offers the ultimate boot for your everyday fall uniform.
, co-founder of Jimmy Choo and current head of her own eponymous shoe label, has long been an arbiter of glamour. As a designer, she’s known for her Carrie Bradshaw-beloved strappy stilettos, the kind with 6-inch heels and plenty of sex appeal. But despite her longtime love affair with all that glitters, Mellon insists that she has a pretty straightforward daily uniform.
“I literally live in Frame jeans every day,” Mellon said over the phone from L.A. “So when Jens and Erik called and said that they were expanding their product offering and asked if I’d like to collaborate on a shoe with them, I obviously jumped at it. I love their aesthetic and the way they approach design.
Comfort was of course key, and Mellon did all of the boot fittings on herself to ensure that the heel height was right for someone to walk around all day and not feel pain. Also important was the price point. “We wanted to make a very tall boot under $1,000,” Grede notes. “That was important for us because, and the same goes for Tamara too, we always want to offer a fair price. All the girls around us love tall boots but they don’t always necessarily love the price that they pay for them.
“We went for a boot that was very kind of 1970s Parisian glamour that looked great with jeans,” Mellon said. “You know that you can trust that you’re going out and you look great.”
