With a resumé that boasts of stints as shoe designer at Hermès, Balenciaga, and Dior, it is not surprising that Pierre Hardy is one of the hottest shoe names since he launched his eponymous collection and his first store in Paris in Palais-Royal.  Grab a pair of his high heels while you can and you will be the envy of  true shoe fashionistas everywhere, especially since the brand is hard to find almost everywhere else – at least for now.  His bag collection is exciting and he does do mens shoes too.
