Shoes by Kathy Ireland Next in Her Stable of Clothes and Furniture
Kathy Ireland seems to have her name on everything - wedding couture, fur, sleepwear, underwear, jewelry, furniture, sheets, plates, rugs and now shoes.
The supermodel, whose Kathy Ireland Worldwide is based in Rancho Mirage, Calif., has signed a deal with The Royal Footwear & Accessories Group in New York to serve as its chief designer and to launch a line of her own footwear with the company.
The Kathy Ireland brand of shoes will debut for Spring 2015 and encompass all categories.
The business deal started at the License Global Expo. Her line will focus on fun fashion, bright colors, unique textures and different ornamentation. Comfort will be key with flex insoles, soft footbeds and light-weight outsoles that will incorporate traction technology.
The RFA Group, based in New York City, also has the license to make Isaac Mizrahi footwear.
