L’Agence is shining a brighter spotlight on for fall 2026, following dramatic year-over-year growth in the category since introducing shoes in 2021.

The Los Angeles-based brand presented its “Seduction”-themed fall collection on Thursday during New York Fashion Week at Cipriani 42nd Street, where Mary J. Blige, Martha Stewart and more guests stopped by. Showcasing the looks around a fountain centerpiece, the models were decked out in outfits ranging from a mirrored silver gown to a gray three-piece suit with wide-leg trousers to tapestry print garments inspired by Golden Age Dutch paintings. A range of footwear, from minimalist heels to stiletto boots, completed these ensembles.

L’Agence fashion director Tara Rudes Dann called the fall 2026 shoe collection “outrageous.”

Rudes Dann told FN, “It is my dream shoe collection, spanning platform booties and pointed kitten heels to embellished over-the-knee boots and workwear-inspired pieces. The textures are rich — suede, boxed leather, croc embossed, lizard effect, and lace in a rich palette that calls back to our collection with ports, chocolates, muted olive.”

Footwear ended up serving as inspiration for the way the outfits were presented last week.

The fashion director shared, “Our footwear collection was so important to the way we styled the looks for our NYFW presentation. The knee-high boots drove some of the styling decisions. We tucked billowy jeans and trousers into them, creating a new silhouette that feels fresh.”

Rudes Dann also explained how L’Agence heels offer a sexy allure but can still be worn all day; she credited the use of padded insoles and finding the ideal pitch. She also emphasized that pricing is competitive. Among the already popular styles, the Lolita heel, a minimalist open-toe mule, ranges from $295-345 depending on the finish; the Catania kitten heel, which features a sculptural heel and metal accent, is priced at $345; and the Maelle, a classic pointed-toe stiletto pump, is marked at $345 as well. Rudes Dann called these styles “essentials that you can take anywhere, day-to-night.”

Rudes Dann explained the defining qualities of the L’Agence shoe category: “Our footwear is designed with the same philosophy as our ready-to-wear: She feels seen, she feels beautiful, she feels confident and can take on the world. Our consumer also appreciates that the footwear is designed to complement the clothes and she can create gorgeous looks that you can’t get anywhere else. A look we debuted at NYFW with our port croc-embossed trench paired with our port croc-embossed knee-high boot; the footwear is key to that look.”
