For years, Number One Shoes’ treasure trove of styles, colours and shapes has been the go-to footwear destination for luxury New Zealand fashion house, WORLD.  From runway shows to lookbook shoots, Number One Shoes have provided the finishing touch to many WORLD outfits.

Early this year, with New Zealand Fashion Week 2011 on the horizon, WORLD designers Francis Hooper Denise L’Estrange-Corbet and Benny Castles had an epiphany! Why not collaborate with Number One Shoes? Create a luxurious capsule collection of high quality, fashion forward shoes with the largest shoe retailer in New Zealand, use them in their largest runway show ever, then make them available for the public to buy exclusively at Number One Shoes stores at affordable prices the very next day?

Without further ado, WORLD Made Me Do It was born!

An original women’s footwear collection for Summer 11/12 created by WORLD for Number One Shoes. A powerful combination of internationally renowned, opulent, tongue-in-chic aesthetic, mixed with accessibility, affordability and nationwide reach. A taste of fabulous high fashion, without the high fashion price tag.

After selected styles were debuted on the catwalk at WORLD AW 12 at New Zealand Fashion Week, the original women’s footwear collection for Summer 11/12 created by WORLD exclusively for Number One Shoes will be available in LIMITED NUMBERS in eight Number One Shoes stores nationwide.

“Working with Number One Shoes on this unique shoe collection has allowed us to look, listen, draw and create a first for New Zealand – a frigging hot collection of shoes for the fashionable New Zealand woman” - Francis Hooper, Director and Chief Designer of WORLD.
