It's not our favorite passive-aggressive, spiky-headed cartoon character but her alterego Yeardley Smith who's designing a new, high-end footwear collection. She's calling it Marchez Vous ("you walk" in French), and her goal is to marry beauty with comfort. The shoes are described as having a "retro-yet-modern aesthetic, mixing leather, burlap, patent, suede and quilting techniques in unexpected ways." We describe these anti-stilettos as a little Chie Mihara, a little Miu Miu. The shoes retail for $350 - $495, and they'll be available at Fred Segal Feet. [Accessories Magazine, Marchez Vous]
