Katy Perry has launches new shoe line

-

Katy Perry has launched her new range of footwear. The 32-year-old singer joined forces with Global Brands Group Holding Limited earlier this year to work on a range of footwear, and has now launched her line by holding a celebrator­y brunch, according to Women's Wear Daily. Posting a picture of the 'Chained To The Rhythm' hitmaker with a giant model of one of her shoes, the publicatio­n wrote on Instagram yesterday: "Katy Perry celebrated the launch of her footwear collection with an East Day Recovery Brunch. #wwdeye (: @lexieblack­lock) (sic)" Previously, Katy claimed she had been working on the fashion range for "three years". Speaking about her designs, the 'Roar' hitmaker said: "[Footwear] was a part of me that needed to be carefully created and developed, and I had to weigh a lot of my options. So for about three years, I was educating myself on the business and [thinking about] who would be a great partner." And the brunette beauty - who is known for her eccentric style - has described her capsule, which features pumps with rabbit detail on the toe, and platform shoes with a cigar heel, as "vibrant, expressive and defining". She explained: "It's vibrant, expressive and defining. "Not everybody is rich, and not everybody is excessive. And everybody has more important things to spend their money on - whether it's their children, or their family or their health. At the end of the day, your personalit­y shouldn't be so expensive to display. "We've learned through manufactur­ing and science that we can make things [with] better quality that don't take so much time. Applying all of this informatio­n makes a better product faster and with more options." Michelle Williams' 2017 Oscars dress took "800 hours of labor" to create. The 36-year-old actress stunned in a Louis Vuitton number at the Oscars earlier this year, and it has now been revealed that the beautiful black and cream gown was made by "a dozen dressmaker­s" and took a painstakin­g 800 hours to piece together. An Instagram post uploaded by InStyle magazine shows the 'Manchester By The Sea' actress wearing her dress, and was captioned: "It took 800 hours of labor (by a dozen dressmaker­s!) to piece together Michelle Williams's @LouisVuitt­on 2017 Oscars dress. Of course, Vuitton Artistic Director @nicolasghe­squiere and her stylist, @KateYoung, were right by her side.

He told the publicatio­n: "We liked the combinatio­n of velvet, which I think of as a masculine fabric, mixed with the femininity of the tulle embroidere­d with crystals and pearls. It looks very couture, while at the same time it has a simplicity that is very Parisian." Whilst Michelle's stylist Kate Young said the decision to wear minimal jewellery - which included a bracelet and earrings - came as they felt big diamond necklaces looked "ageing". She added: "Something about those big diamond necklaces looks ageing. I like the idea of a dress looking real, like there's not some security guard waiting in the background to take it right back."
