Want to lure female stars? You’d better have … shoes
By Jenny Peters
American accessory designers Richard Lambertson and John Truex arrived in Los Angeles on Wednesday night in style, opening their first luxury goods boutique on Melrose Place with a posh party.
Lambertson Truex joins Marc Jacobs, Carolina Herrera and the other high-end shops that dot that tree-lined byway with their drool-worthy line of shoes, boots and bags for both men and women.
Stars, socialites and stylists jammed the sleek modern space, sipping champagne and margaritas and ogling items made of ostrich, crocodile, snakeskin and exotic leathers.
Jami Gertz and Devon Aoki coveted the newest zebra-stripe line, while others, including Crystal Moffett-Lourd, pondered whether to head to the back of the shop, where their every whim could be indulged in the custom-made section.
“I adore them,” gushed Fran Drescher, shouting over the tunes spun by celebrity DJ Samantha Ronson. “Their shoes are fantastic!”
The nasal-voiced actress had more on her mind than looking good (which she did, as usual, in her leopard-print head scarf and matching trenchcoat), reminding us that she’s been cancer-free for seven years. Her successful battle with uterine cancer – and misdiagnosis in the early stages of her illness – has led her to be a strong advocate for women’s health. She’s spearheading the Cancer Schmancer movement (www.cancerschmancer.org) to make sure every woman’s cancer is detected in Stage 1.
“Women have to know what to ask their doctors in order to get the right diagnosis,” Drescher said. “That’s what we’re trying to ensure.”
Plus, staying healthy means more chances to wear Lambertson Truex.
“Their shoes are something to live for,” she said, laughing.
