As fans of "Sex and the City" know all too well, Carrie Bradshaw never met a designer shoe she didn't like. And, when the series ended in 2004, Parker was besieged by offers to represent various shoe lines or to design a line herself. Not wanting to attach her name to a shoddy product and not wanting to gouge the public, Mrs. Broderick waited till the time was right. Then she placed a phone call.

"Sarah called me and said she'd been thinking a lot about shoes." George Malkemus, CEO of Manolo Blahnik USA recalls in O Magazine. "Before she could finish that sentence, I said, 'Be in my office tomorrow morning.'"

And, thus began a beautiful collaboration.

By all accounts, Parker delighted in the expression on King's face when she walked into the suite at NYC's tony Crosby Street Hotel and nearly drowned in a sea of shoes.

"Meet the girls," Glassman said.

"Yes," Parker added. "These are the girls I didn't get to have." Then, to an awestruck King, she pointed out Inez, Fawn, Iva, Ina, Tanny, Bobbie, Brigitte and, of course, Carrie.

Parker was no slouch when it came to bringing her line to life. "These are all manufactured in Italy. I wanted to make something with great attention to detail," she says in O Magazine.

Debuting exclusively at Nordstrom shoe salons on February 28, the SJP line can be yours -- for a little more than a song.

Which is not to say that Parker and the Blahnik folks are out to bankrupt fans of the line. But, remember, these shoes are made with nothing but the finest materials and peerless craftsmanship.
