I like to think of the clothes I design as something that sophisticated women can comfortably wear every day, so I’m always looking for the equivalent in shoes. Lately I’ve been disappointed in shoe fashions because they’re all these really, really high heels that I can’t wear anymore.
But there’s a new shoe line called Glory Chen that is the first shoes I’ve found in a while that really work for me. I’ve very pleased with them. Glory Chen is based in San Francisco and the design aesthetic is similar to mine, kind of architectural and intellectual. A friend of mine recently had a pair of Glory Chen shoes on and I was struck by them, so I went into one of their stores on Maiden Lane, which is right behind ours on Sutter Street.
The store is beautifully designed and the shoes are fabulous. They look like grown-up, sophisticated campers. They’ve got heels but they’re not spikey, and they don’t look dowdy. They look very contemporary. The designer has a great eye and she does nice padded insides so they’re comfortable. Most of the heels are made of rubber, but they’re very sculptural and very colorful. They’re really terrific.

Agreed. I never thought I was vain until I had a mastectomy at age 39. I was devastated and told the doc I wanted to wake up with implants. Now at age 60, I am lopsided and wondering if I was just avoiding the inevitable. You get what you get and you
