developed as a tribute to the cheap timberlands strong, independent women timberland who shaped post-industrial america, the fall 2009 debut collection features beautifully-crafted and purposeful footwear designed by and for women. modern silhouettes, inspired timberlands by traditional menswear, are tailored with a feminine twist, and delicate cues evoke stories in which shoes were mended and embellished over time.

the line includes three key collections, designed by three different designers. each designer approached her collection by researching the time period to identify societal milestones that may have affected what women were wearing. they identified fictional and real-life female icons -- including georgia o'keefe, rosie the riveter and their own grandmothers -- pulling inspiration from both historical and family archives
