  Fashion news 2012: Halle Berry is the latest of celebrities to launch her own shoe collection. To make her dream come true the actress teamed up with German retailer Deichmann. The range will include around 40 styles of comfy footwear featuring wedges, high heels and peep-toe pumps.

  If a couple of years ago celebrities believed having their own fragrance was cool, today they all long for having their own shoe line. Following in the footsteps of Cheryl Cole, Rachel Bilson, and Jessica Simpson Halle Berry has designed a collection of sandals named the 5ths Avenue by Halle Berry.

  To produce the footwear Halle Berry teamed up with German retailer Deichmann Shoes. The collection that will go on sale in March includes 40 limited edition shoes with peep toes and wedge heels, sandals with straps and high heels as well as sling sandals on wedge heels.

  

  Halle Berry says creating this collection was important for her:

  Women have always loved shoes. It’s like if your hair is not right and your shoes are not right, the woman is not right. If both of them are right, you’re pretty much OK.”

  She also mentioned that shoes are indicative of a woman’s mood and plans:

  And shoes are a statement. They can be very sexy; they can say something about where you are in the day; they can say what your mood is; they give you a chance to accessorize.”

  The actress told she had sort of obsession with shoes:

  And I’m a girl that loves to change my shoes all the time. It’s an expression of who you are really. I’m a girl if I find a shoe that I really like I like to get them in all colours. I’m big on that.

  Hale Berry also spoke about the Deichmann commercial to promote her shoe line:

  I like the concept of it. It really relates to my life and who I am as a person and what I do for a living. And I think there’s kind of a fun element to it. And it also speaks to my love of shoes.”

  The German brand Halle Berry has collaborated with to create her collection of shoes is also more than happy to work with the star. The company’s owner Heinrich Deichmann said:

  We are very pleased that Halle Berry is our new partner. She is an internationally renowned artist and a global style icon.”

  Berry isn’t the first celebrity to sign a contract with Deichmann. Cindy Crawford, Pussycat Dolls and the Sugababes used to promote its shoes.
