Model and designer La'shaunae Steward recently worked to create a total of five plus size footwear designs for women with Jeffrey Campbell.
Steward was inspired to create the line due to her own experiences with shoe shopping, as she's found that she has to shop at thrift stores to find unique styles in her size. As many of the brands that currently create fashion for curvy women aren't focused on footwear, the collaboration is sure to be a hit among the demographic, with many already voicing their support on Twitter and other social platforms.
Although the information surrounding the line is sparse, it's been reported that it will include a thigh-high boot design and other bold looks.
