French shoe label Roger Vivier has revealed the launch of a mini-me footwear line, following the increasing popularity of designer childrenswear.

The French footwear label will introduce a line called Roger Vivier – Jeune Fille, or, in English, Roger Vivier – Girl, to its international stores in March.

The line will be a reworking of the house’s brightly colored patent leather adult ballerinas, which carry the brand’s signature buckle.

Manolo Blahnik has announced a deal for British department store Liberty to sell his footwear as of spring 2012.

The UK currently only has one exclusive outlet at the designer’s store on Old Church Street in London’s exclusive Chelsea neighborhood.

Situated on Regent Street in the heart of London’s shopping district since 1875, Liberty boasts a long fashion legacy and is best known for its floral, abstract and paisley patterned print fabrics.

Nine years after exiting the men’s shoe business, luxury footwear brand Jimmy Choo will be re-entering the market with new shoes slated for Fall/Winter 2011.

The much-awaited collection will include dress shoes, moccasins, casual biker boots, sneakers and evening slippers for the fall 2011 season.

The new range will be produced in Italy with initial distribution limited to 30 men’s specialty stores and department stores worldwide.
