Halle Berry & Tyra Banks Love This Glam Shoe Designer...

Since February is Black History Month, I thought I'd highlight an up-and-coming African-American Shoe Designer to commemerate the contribution African-American shoe designers make to the fashion industry.

Etu Evans, shoe designer to the stars, is a creator of luxurious footwear. He's earned the nickname, Harlem Blahnik. Now if you know your shoes, you know that a comparison to Manolo Blahnik is quite the compliment.

Etu lauched his shoe line in 1998 while studying shoe design at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology. He also ran a shoe repair shop in Harlem that became custom-design business.

Evan's one-of-a-kind designs began attracting celebrities including Tyra Banks and Halle Barry. His boots began selling for more than $2,500.00 a pair.

While he enjoys designing gorgeous shoes, Evans has time to solicit shoe donations for his foundation, Solesville. The foundation gives refurbished shoes to inner-city residents seeking their first jobs. Shoes are also shipped to young adults in the Carribean and Africa.
