Madonna to kickstart fashion brand with shoe collection

Madonna is teaming up with footwear brand Aldo to design her own shoe collection.

The pop superstar made her first foray into fashion in 2010 by launching Material Girl, a brand aimed at young females, with her teenage daughter Lourdes.

She is now working on a more grown-up label called Truth or Dare, which will eventually include fragrances, clothes, accessories and lingerie, and the singer will kickstart her new business with a footwear line, created in conjunction with Aldo.

Madonna's long-time stylist, Arianne Phillips, who is acting as creative consultant on the line, tells WWD, "Her fingers are really on this brand. The first thing I did was remind her of all the shoes she wore over the years, and we took the styles that we can't live without."

The shoe collection will include 60 styles from boots to high heels and will range in price from $89 to $349. The range will hit stores in the autumn (12).
