Who: Herbert Levine

What: Trevor Houston’s debut collection

Where: Online at mytheresa.com

Why: Nearly 50 years since the shuttering of Herbert Levine—the shoe brand once known for its “geisha” sandals and the celebrities whose feet it adorned—is back with a new creative director: Trevor Houston. The designer initially built his career across numerous houses including The Row, Khaite, Tory Burch, and Marc Jacobs. (You can even thank him for the ultra-viral The Row jelly flats—one of the most divisive and popular luxury shoes in recent years.) Now, Houston is ready to lead a house he has vocally admired for much of his professional career—and just in time for warm-weather wardrobes.
