Dina Lohan’ shoe line for Mother’s Day

According to WWD, Dina Lohan (the proud mom of Lindsay) announced last week she will launch a collection of footwear for “hot moms” just in time for Mother’s Day. “Some of the heels Lindsay gives me, I’m like, ‘I can’t wear that,’” Dina Lohan said of the 5-inch stilettos her daughter sports. “It’s kind of cheesy for a mom. I’m not a 23-year-old!” The collection, temporarily named “Shoe-han” while Lohan brainstorms on a definitive one, is a collaboration with Long Island, N.Y.-based retailer Love My Shoes and will debut with about 35 styles of flats and heels, all priced below $100. But until her line hits the market, Lohan said she’ll rely on her own wardrobe of Gucci, YSL and Prada shoes, as well as selected styles she finds in Lindsay’s, and even younger daughter Ali’s, closets. “We’re all the same size,” she said. “It’s so nice.” As long as she’s not walking bare foot, right :)

Philip Treacy for Valentino

Hat designer Philip Treacy‘s first shoe project ever debuted at the Valentino show this week. On the shift: “I am usually working on the head and then to move to the foot is a whole other dimension. You can’t have the same fragility, because models walk like racehorses and kick them together. And then something very delicate is in tatters — but actually, it looks quite good in tatters!” saif Treacy. Sounds like if you can make gorgeous hats you can make gorgeous shoes :) !!
