Singapore Shoe Label Charles & Keith Moves Fashion Forward

The homegrown shoe label's new Collection line is more fashion forward, more sophisticated, but still won't bust the bank. Here's what you need to know.

• It replaces the brand's premium Signature line that's been around since 2007 – and focused on classic stilettos.

• It's the label's edgiest offering: The debut collection, for example, plays with see-through Perspex heels and plastic panels and modern, minimalist lines – and there are more than just stilettos.

• It has its own dedicated design team.

• The shoes are made of leather (those from the main line are usually made of PU).

• Prices are just a bit higher: $69.90 to $89.90, compared to the main line where shoes cost $50 on average.

• It hits stores end January in 21 of the brand's 29 stores – we recommend Ion Orchard and Raffles City.
