During the Fall/Winter shows this spring, we could see that pointy toe pumps will be having a renaissance. Prada, Giles, Louis Vuitton, Valentino and a few more brands decided to bring it back. We could say it’s official since Jane of Sea of Shoes already showed her pair by Prada.
In case you don’t like these brands, you could buy your pair at Jimmy Choo:

4. Indirect shoe ads
The best place to promote shoes, however, must be television. No wonder that guests in various talk shows appear always pretty, wearing trendy shoes. Here’s a little compilation of them.

Scarlett Johansson on Leno wearing Christian Louboutin:
Amber Valletta on Lopez wearing Nicholas Kirkwood:
Kim Kardashian on Leno wearing YSL:
Kim also uses Twitter very well to promote herself in the first line and this time also Christian Louboutin. You can see her in this outfit on the new cover of Prestige magazine.
