SHOE SHINE: Anthropologie and Dr. Scholl’s have teamed on a collection of spring shoes.
The three-style range includes wedged sandals and a flat sneaker.
The collection is set to launch April 25 at Anthropologie stores, priced from $108 to $128.
The firms have been working together on-and-off since 2013.
Said Katie Moore, senior designer for Dr. Scholl’s: “Because of our history of partnership with Anthropologie and our understanding of the styles that have done well for their consumer, this was an easy collaboration. We followed Anthropologie’s lead on material inspiration that aligned with their spring ready to wear. Basically, it was a collaborative effort that started with a selection of styles and materials, which we worked to narrow down to a capsule collection — keeping in mind the consumer and our shared goal to curate a hand-crafted collection that offered a range of options.”

The designer was last at Neiman Marcus Union Square six years ago and said, “I’m so glad I got to come back. I also attended a ballet and went to see the new modern art museum. The [Henri] Matisse and [Richard] Diebenkorn exhibit was beautiful. It was also nice to see the groups of children who come there as beneficiaries of the programs we are honoring today.”
Neiman’s has carried Herrera since its launch in 1981. In honor of the longstanding relationship, Neiman Marcus Group chief executive officer Karen
