American  accessories brand Judith Leiber, which is perhaps best known for its evening bags and crystal minaudieres, has licensed Paradox London to launch footwear brand JL by Judith Leiber for worldwide distribution.

The new footwear collection will feature strappy sandals and platforms in luxurious shimmering textures. It incorporates "luxurious silk, extraordinary crystals, classic metallic shades and textured glitter" and was inspired by the art deco period. The shoes have also been decorated with original vintage jewellery, as a nod to the romantic drama of the golden jazz age.

The collection will launch at the tradeshow FN Platform in Las Vegas on February 16-18. Target stockists in the UK are Selfridges, Harrods, House of Fraser, John Lewis, Harvey Nichols, Net-A-Porter, Browns and Matchesfashion.com. Adam Benjamin, Creative Director, Paradox London commented, “We are very excited to launch the first JL By Judith Leiber collection. With over 30 years experience in manufacturing and distributing glamourous footwear through Paradox London in over 25 markets, this was an ideal opportunity for both businesses.”

Retail prices will range from £140-£400.
