PROFILE OF A SHOE FANATIC!

Ladie Knight is in charge of technical design and quality control for dreamboat designer Yigal Azrouel. They had only their second fashion show this week - and received rave reviews.

Knight’s favorite shoe - original Roger Vivier, “because he invented the stiletto, and I’m a stiletto girl, even though I’m in flats today.” That’s because she lives in New York City.

Her shoe collection? “About 36 pairs per season,” she checks her shoes, gives away any that are too worn … and then buys new ones.

Shoe talk with simplysofa from Washington

Q: Why do you love shoes?
A: Shoes are what pulls an outfit all together. If you have the wrong shoes, your outfit is going to look a little off if not completely. For me, if I have on a great pair of shoes, my confidence level soars. Only in the right pair of shoes, do I feel I can pull off a black mini skirt or a satin dress over a tshirt. And let’s face it, we all love shoes because they can never make us feel fat; we can all wear them.

Q: If you could design the perfect pair of shoes, what features would they have?
A: Something more classic than trendy with the perfect sized heel for a woman who’s 5′10 and doesn’t wish to tower of her 6′0 husband; sturdy and a bit pointy.

Q: Who is your favorite shoe designer?
A: Jeffrey Campbell for keeping it realistic.

Q: What shoe trend would you like to see disappear?
A: Platforms. Remember back when the Spice Girls walked around in those on stage? Ugh.

Q: What is your most favorite shoe style of all time?
A: The black stiletto. Enough said.
