For Ruthie Davis, shoe obsession started at the tender age of two when she tried on her first pair of red patent leather Mary Janes. Ruthie fell so fast and hard in love with the shoes that when the salesman went to take them off, he was confronted with the fierce glare of a baby fashionista. Little Ruthie wore the shoes out of the store and according to her mother, insisted on wearing them to bed that night.

Ruthie's love-affair with shoes has, over time, transformed into an uncompromising obsession with producing some of the most provocative footwear in the world. In 2006, Davis introduced her own brand of handcrafted Italian-made shoes. The collection is a high-style/high tech merging of the designer's personal style - referencing architecture, modernism, and future technology with a lifelong love for 1960s Italian cinema and the larger than life heroines of childhood comic books. Her shoes are innovative in form, function and materials and always radiate a sexy elegance.

At the core of Ruthie's design philosophy lies the concept of integration. She herself is more than just a designer; she has an MBA. She oversees every aspect of her company, from design to production to marketing to PR. In essence, Ruthie IS her brand. This allows her to execute her ideas without interference, and the result is a purity of product that is rare in today's marketplace.

"While the fashion world baits its breath and waits for Phoebe Philo's June '09 debut for Celine, the label turned to its team of designers for a fall '09 collection which definitely proved that things are on the up 'n up at Celine. There's a vintage vibe at work in trapeze coats with big gold buttons, Crayola colored caplets, and boxy tweed jackets—not to mention we're kind of loving their luxe leather beret/newsboy cap hybrid. Do we detect an element of Bonnie and Clyde in the mix? For a house that had as little identity pre-Philo as Celine, this moment in time couldn't be bigger for them. Let the countdown begin, and 'til then, we'll hold all our marbles in that big, slouchy, gray suede tasseled bag..."
