Oh, you thought studio singer Beyonce
Ty Hunter, the man responsible for buying Beyonce’s shoes, sat down for a brief interview with Elle magazine recently.
Ty dished on the brands Beyonce prefers (“Versace, Stuart Weitzman, Giuseppe Zanotti, and Tom Ford”); her maximum heel height (“Nothing over 3 1/2 inches”); and the one thing her fans would be surprised to know about Beyonce.
ELLE: How much does Beyoncé’s performance weigh into the shoe choices you select for the tour? TH: “As far as stage shoes, comfort-ability plays a major role because she has to dance.”
ELLE: Are there any brands you tend to gravitate towards? TH: “Stuart Weitzman, Giuseppe Zanotti, and Tom Ford.”
ELLE: What’s the one shoe every woman should have in her closet? TH: “A simple black pump. Because you can dress it up or down. It’s a staple to any woman’s wardrobe.”
ELLE: What’s one thing people would be surprised to know about shopping with Beyoncé? TH: “The one thing people would be surprised to know is that we have fun. We joke around a lot. It’s like being a kid in a candy store because we love fashion. Shopping is also very therapeutic for us as a team. Raquel and I have a lot of fun when we’re out at stores.”
