“I love my legs, but I count on my feet! Nothing is more important than shoes for the confident, sexy woman on-the-go. I am thrilled to partner with Brown Shoe Company to bring this spirit to our shoe line,” stated Diane von Furstenberg, Founder and Co-Chairman of DVF Studio.

“For more than four decades, Diane von Furstenberg has shared her sophisticated style with the world”, stated Diane Sullivan, CEO, President and Chairman of Brown Shoe Company, adding: “This is a great opportunity, for both companies, to continue to build on an already solid and successful global lifestyle brand. Diane is such an inspiration to everyone and we look forward to making amazing shoes together.”

The contemporary collection will reflect Diane von Furstenberg’s feminine, effortless and classic styles. Brown Shoe confirmed that distribution will be targeted to key wholesale partners (nationally at the US and abroad), where DVF ready-to-wear and accessories collections are sold. It will be managed out of Brown Shoe Company’s New York office by Jay Schmidt, division president of Contemporary Fashion for Brown Shoe Company.
