Love and Hip Hop star Emily Bustamante has an expensive shoe habit! If you’ve ever seen the aspiring fashion designer/stylist on VH1’s Love and Hip Hop you know the girls got some style. In the latest issue of PYNK Magazine, Emily talks her shoe fetish and entrepreneurial aspirations.
What’s the most you’ve spent on one pair of shoes?
$5000. And they were special edition — crystallized, but I would never do it again. It would have to be a very special occasion. Other than that, I don’t want to spend over $3000. Never again.
Do you find that your passion for shoes influences you as a stylist?
It’s just a part of being a stylist. I love to shop, I love fashion, and I love girly things. Shoes are definitely an inspiration for me. I start off with the shoes and work my way up and around it.
Tell us about some of your entrepreneurial pursuits.
I’m actually starting my own clothing line, called Emily B. It’s going to be feminine, chic, trendy, and of course, affordable. I want to start a line that all women and young girls of all ages can wear and afford.
What’s the perfect PYNK girl shoe?
Every girl should own a good black pump, even if it’s just an open-toed pump. It’s versatile – she can wear it with anything, she can wear it with jeans, she can dress it up and wear it out with a cocktail dress…
