Both Madonna and her brother Christopher announced shoe collections last week. Christopher is showing The Ciccone Collection at the London Fashion Week in September.

“My first job with Madonna was the cover of Rolling Stone in 1997,” says Phillips. The shoes were inspired by Madonna’s “vast catalogue of looks” over the years, says Phillips. That means everything from studded stilettos to quilted booties.

While her aim to “give that piece of Madonna style to women in an accessible and affordable way” may be compromised by the significant heels, they will, no doubt, fly out of the store.
