A good shoe in the 90s could make your heart sing; the slingback, the flat-form, the cork wedge, the kitten-heeled sandal, the names went on. The era of the “waiting list”—an industry-wide tool introduced to fuel desire—was all the rage, Carrie Bradshaw was nearly the old woman who lived in her shoes, and what was on your feet was as important as owning a slip dress or a lowly-slung silk skirt for dates.

Alias Mae’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection is a one-stop destination for your favourite 90s silhouettes. A seamless and affordable blend of classic and modern styles—shapes that can span casual catch-ups and evening rendezvous—each are accented with sartorial sensibilities from the best decade; strappy suede sandals, snake printed leather kitten heels, a slim wedge with a clear vinylite upper, a square toe a la Jennifer Aniston’s heels at the 1998 premiere of her film The Object Of My Affection.

“I love how varied the collection is from the new sneaker to the gorgeous heeled sandals,” remarks GRAZIA and ICON’s fashion director Kim Payne. “But Alias Mae as a brand is about comfort as well, and this collection really hones that. Perfect for weekend mornings. The commute to work.”
