Carmen has called her design Bombshell, and proceeds will raise money for One Voice, which helps disadvantaged families in LA. “They say that clothes make the person, and a shoe like ‘Bombshell’ goes a long way toward making women feel sexy and beautiful,” says Carmen. "I can’t wait to wear it! “[One Voice is] a terrific organization that I’m personally pumped to help with. It’s not every day you get to design a sexy shoe – and raise money for a favorite charity.”
Prior to Carmen’s shoe release, ShoeDazzle partnered with singer Mel B and actresses Jenny McCarthy, Kristen Bell and Kristin Chenoweth for their Celebrity Shoe Design Program for Charity. The company launched its first cause-marketing campaign in Fall 2009, offering a pink pump benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This year, in other cause related products, ShoeDazzle designed a special red pump and clutch to support WomenHeart and raise awareness for American Heart Month as well as accessories benefiting breast cancer awareness. Carmen’s shoe will retail at $39.95, and will be available from July 8 from ShoeDazzle.
