…………………………….I LOVED designing footwear……..Of course it didn’t hurt that I went to Andrea Pfister’s villa just outside of Positano on the Amalfi Coast. His villa was in the next town over called Praiano…..It was at the edge of a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean……Just magnificent. I made two trips a year…one for Spring, and one for Fall…….The Villa is now a luxury rental, and it’s called “Villa Lily” in Praiano, Italy……Google it and take a video tour of the villa. It’s simply fantastic…..I went there for 19 years…….I miss the Schwartz & Benjamin team, and my dear friends Andrea and Jean Pierre. Sometimes Jac would come during my summer trips. While I was working in the huge studio on the second floor overlooking the sea, Jac was lounging by the beautiful pool!………….This was one of the hundreds of shoes we created while sitting in the white studio. This was the Footwear National Ad for my last spring collection at Anne Klein! It was a fabulous shoe then……and it still is!
