Rare is the star whose name has been made into an adjective. Even rarer is one who has made that descriptor a brand name for a line of shoes. But such is the case with Fergie, whose footwear lines, Fergie and Fergalicious, are inspired by her bold personal style.
Fergie needs no introduction. Her career, both as a solo artist and with the Black Eyed Peas, is decade-spanning. Similarly, her style has run the gamut from club kid to tomboy to glamazon, which is represented in her shoe collection through leopard-print pumps, studded booties and patterned espadrilles. “A lot of what I love to do is day-to-night and I feel like that is an inspiration for my collection now,” the singer says. “That’s just the modern woman’s lifestyle.”
It’s safe to assume that Fergie doesn’t take a lot of vacation time, but when she does, she looks forward to spending quality time with her son, Axl Jack. “I am not going to try to hide from it … I’m an over-packer,” she says. Here, however, she shares just five of her many vacation style picks.
