Not since Christian Louboutin took over the world with an avalanche of red soles has such excitement surrounded a shoe designer. Charlotte Olympia is the hottest new name in footwear worn by just about every A-list celeb with serious fashion credentials from Emma Watson to Olivia Palermo, Sarah Jessica Parker to Keira Knightley any many many more.

Charlotte Olympia is the brand born of Charlotte Olympia Dellal, yes her family are the super sophisticated Dellal’s (model Andrea is mum, socialite Alice is sister). A graduate of London College of Fashion and Cordwainers, Charlotte launched her label in 2006. Charlotte’s shoes are characterised by the distinctive old Hollywood feel to them, super sophisticated and always with a killer heel.

You can buy them online right now at net-a-porter.com. My favourites are the Minerva laser-cut suede pumps as sported by Olivia Palermo at London Fashion Week, £820.
