Summer is still in its infancy, but some of us are anticipating fall and the arrival of Chrissie Morris' eponymous shoe collection, hitting boutiques in the U.S. this September. Morris, a classically trained cobbler, designs gem-studded, Art Deco-inspired footwear in luxe leathers and exotic skins, including five varieties of stingray, as on the pair above. In a digital world, Morris' wares have the human touch. She selects each stone herself while Italian artisans craft each pair by hand. Need immediate gratification? The designer's Web site is taking preorders to let you put your best foot forward the minute the leaves change.
