Astrid In Wonderland + Steve Madden = Season Finale
We can’t believe it’s already the end of Season Two of Astrid in Wonderland. We traveled to New York City for the last episode, which airs tonight, and if you are a fashinista, and we know you might be, we talked shoes and so much more when we interviewed Steve Madden for the Blonde & The Brunette.
For us, it was the kind of trip that was a dream come true, and we won’t be giving all the details away, you must watch; but Astrid and I had so much fun hanging out with Steve in NYC and then checking out his newest store on Park Avenue. We even tried on Steve Madden shoes, with Steve (!) for HOURS!!! Then we got serious about getting fun insights into his shoe empire. Here are some crazy facts we discovered.
- The first shoe he designed and sold was a clog.
- Music and fine art really inspire him when creating a shoe.
- He loves Lady Gaga! Don’t we all.
- To produce a shoe, it takes 45-60 days to go from idea to finished product.
- He also manufactures Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s shoe line for Elizabeth and James.
- He is a designer and manufacturer for ShoeMint.com
- He loves mens-inspired footwear for women, such as his smoking shoe and oxford loafer.
- He runs operations in over 55 countries.
Most of all, we found we had a lot in common with Steve, including our mutual belief that your personal style is the best way to express your individuality. With that in mind, we asked Steve to walk us through his latest line. Naturally, we selected some of our favorites including his classic “studded shoe line” (which I really do wear all the time and especially at the office), summer sandals that have become wardrobe essentials, and platforms (that Astrid loves) that make a statement while being super comfy. We thought you might enjoy them too . Of course, you can see even more at Steve Madden online.

Nina
says:I wondered if you at the B&B ever watched a full episode of A in W. You should…especially when there’s a dog around….Astrid just “loves” dogs…As a dog lover I am purely shocked by her comments.
The Brunette
says:Nina We have watched the episodes. Can you explain your comments more. We LOVE dogs. I took care of my blind dog, Otis, for years and Astro, my mini pin, is diabetic, has cataracts, a thyroid problem, pancreatitis and a pinched nerve and our world centers around him. We are also big, long-time supporters of The Humane Society. Kathryn has her Lily and Ashlee is crazy about her cat.
