With Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in full New York swing, I've already started making my must-have list for Fall '13. Christian Siriano (of Project Runway fame) showed his Russian Opera-themed collection on Saturday, and I immediately added his opulent gold and black looks to my list.  As fate would have it, I just received a memo that Christian Siriano and Payless ShoeSource have teamed up again, but here's the best part - starting Feb. 18, a direct-from-the-runway shoe featured in Siriano's show will be carried at hundreds of Payless stores nationwide for only $45.  How's that for instant gratification?

Says Siriano, "Fashion Week is always about the coming season -- fashion available five months out -- but I wanted to bring shoppers a direct-from-the-runway look that is available ASAP and at a great price."  

The LeToile is an opened-up sling-back dress pump with a platform sole featuring all-over black patent, a criss-cross detail at the toe and a playful animal print lining. Twelve additional shoe designs hit the runway and these styles will inspire the Fall '13 Christian Siriano for Payless Gold collection available at Payless this September.  Check out the video below to see the shoe in action...
