Style Profile: Elena Brennan in Philly Weekly

Style Profile by Michael Persico & Anastasia Kotsovas
Philadelphia Weekly, October 15 2008.

“Ever since I was a little girl I always had a passion for shoes. It just made sense that I would open a shoe boutique. I have a lot of designers from different parts of Europe & South America and a few American designers too. The vibe here is really funky. I try to find shoes that girls are going to go nuts for, shoes that they can’t find anywhere else. I choose shoes that are really well made, with really nice leather, but with unusual details that make them a little bit different.

The trends in shoes right now are very, very high heels & lots of jewel-tone colors like purple, green & red. Patent leather is also very in this season. I think it’s good to be trendy but you have to be comfortable too. Spend a little extra money on shoes because they will last longer, your feet will be more comfortable & you can get something unusual. That way, you’re not walking down the street wearing the same shoes as everybody else.”
