We hope that you've been dreaming up your next pair of shoes since we first told you that Shoes of Prey would open a studio in San Francisco. The Australian footwear brand has confirmed that the location —inside Westfield San Francisco Centre Nordstrom— will begin taking its first orders on Wednesday, March 11th at a launch event. From 6–8pm, join hosts Janie Bryant, Emmy Award-winning Costume Designer for Mad Men, and Susi Mai, President of MaiTai Global and Red Bull Athlete, at the new space to view a demonstration from the brand's co-founder Jodie Fox and to build those dream shoes using the 3D designers on iPads.  RSVP to ivan.beltran@nordstrom.com to attend, and you're well on your way to achieving shoe designer status. While you wait for next Wednesday, here's a quick peek at the design platform.
