Beverly Feldman -- Designer Handbags and Footwear

For thirty years I have owned my own company designing fabulous shoes for fabulous women. I understand women because I am a woman. Women love shoes and I love to make women happy. My shoes have done so well over the years because I know what women want and what men dream about.

I was born in a very small, conservative New England town and I always thought, 'if I looked the same as everyone else, what young man would ever notice me?' I use this same thinking for my shoes and handbags. I design to attract attention with color, style and always just a touch of leopard- for a bit of wildness in all of us.

Men appreciate me more than I do them. And the men I appreciate the most are the ones that work for me. Of course, being spoiled with extravagance always elicits a positive reaction. I believe in women being spoiled, but it is usually less costly emotionally when we spoil ourselves.

I live happily in Spain, in another very small town, although I am a real New Yorker at heart. In Spain, I am ten minutes from the Meditteranean, but I never see I as I design 1500 shoes and handbags every year which keeps me busy.

I have been designing so long, you can find me under 'Vintage' on Ebay, and so have recently begun to create my own museum of Beverly Feldman shoes. This way, when I am 120 years old, I can auction off my shoe collection with my jewelry-and start all over again. You will find me to be a Fashion Victim First Class, shamelessly indulging in endless compulsion to buy lipstick, always in pursuit of the perfect color.

I love dancing and shopping, but most of all, I love dressing up to be noticed. I believe women over 50 years should not be married. The circle of life is to get married, get divorced, and then have a great time with younger lovers That is how to stay young and gorgeous.

Beverly Feldman's motto "Too much is not enough" speaks volumes not only about the aesthetic of her shoes but it seems for her philosophy about life as well. For Spring '09, the funky women's footwear designer launched Fifi & Elvis, a line more affordable than her eponymous one. In addition, she maintains a blog on her Web site entitled, "Diary of an Obsessed Shoe & Handbag Designer" while commuting between New York and Alicante, Spain, where she lives. Yet, Feldman has managed to add another project to her plate: a shoe museum, of sorts.
