Footwear News couldn’t have put it any better: Charlotte Olympia Dellal is “a girl who could steal our sole” (as if she hasn’t already).
And making her the recipient of their Designer of the Year award couldn’t be any more fitting. Look at the many Charlotte Olympia shoes we featured just this year, and you’ll completely agree it’s a well-deserved award.

The 26th Annual Footwear News Achievement Awards is an invitation-only event often called the “Oscars of the footwear industry.”
FN awarded Charlotte for having “translated her glamorous style and quirky sense of humor into a much-sought-after footwear collection that pushes the design envelope.”
If it were us, we’d give her the award for designing the shoes that our 12-year-old selves drew on paper and dreamed of wearing once we grew up. Her celebrity fans include Sofia Vergara, Lily Collins, and Taylor Swift.
