HIGH FASHION: Unionville native launches a line of city shoes

Unionville native Mary Alice Malone Jr., a descendant of the Campbell's Soup founder, has launched Malone Souliers, a line of very glamorous shoes. According to an Aug. 18 item in "Town & Country" magazine, they debuted at a luncheon at posh retailer Bergdorf Goodman in New York. Nodding to Ms. Malone's equestrian roots, the writer noted: "More for the town rather than the country, the all-heels Fall line-up features beautifully constructed lace-ups, mules and mary janes."
This style is described as a "snake ankle-wrap pump" in "nude and pink" and is priced at $795 on Bergdorf's website.

 

And these "suede and lizard mid-calf boots" are $1,495 on the Saks website:

 

"Souliers," by the way, is French for shoes. We learned that shoes were "chaussures" in elementary-school French class, but it seems the French have many words for them.
