One advantage of rising through the ranks at a big time ad agency is the ability to buy nice shoes. Elizabeth Brady, senior VP-account director at DDB Worldwide, Chicago, takes it a step further. She makes her own nice shoes.
According to Ad Age, Ms. Brady traces her interest in cobbling to her grandmother, who made sandals by hand and sold them to Saks Fifth Avenue, Marshall Field’s and other department stores.
Brady now exclusively wears her own line of shoes (which include 250 pairs), not to mention 100 pairs of her old favorites, brands including Manolo Blahnik and Barbara Bui designs.
