Abaete | Payless sells good shoes! | Spring 2008
Eager to escape to the beautiful beaches of Rio de Janeiro, but want to "Pay less" to get there?
Okay, okay, cheesy segue aside, Payless Shoesource, once known for selling cheap, blister-inducing shoes (harsh words, but their shoes used to kill!), is now featuring some amazing collections at low, low prices. ABAETE the amazing ready-to-wear (or for those who want to sound cool "pret-a-porter") line by Laura Poretzky, is being featured at Payless Shoesources around town. The line is once again emphasizing Poretzky's infamous sense of "French femininity, Brazilian sensibility and American simplicity".
Poretzky definitely has a well-travelled resume, born in France to a Russian father and a Danish-Brazilian mother, living between Paris, Rio de Janeiro and New York. She was the first designer in 2006 to create a collection for Payless during their runway show at Bryant Park. Abaete's Spring 2008 line really showcases Poretzky's background in swimwear, with flattering cuts and tones, flowing dresses and a muted, fresh, "beachy" vibe.
Payless shoes is also featuring amazing collections by acclaimed designers Lela Rose(embellished classics) and powerhouse brand alice + olivia(sleek mod classics in brights and polkadots). These items are selling fast on the Payless website, so grab them while you can!
