Wearing the Alison Roman x Margaux: The Charlie Boot in Brown Tumbled Calf by Margaux and stylish sunglasses, a woman sits at a wooden outdoor table against a red brick wall, enjoying a salad and iced tea.

“A high boot is chic without being fussy and instantly elevates your outfit. I live in a tall boot on book tour and needed one I actually wanted to wear. This one is named after my son.”

“Atlantic is a street in Brooklyn I cross every day. I walk everywhere—on the promenade, running errands, going to the farmer's market—and I'm probably wearing this shoe.”

“Every single style came from a need for a specific moment in my actual life. Shoes for my life, but also maybe yours?”

“I’m typically out and about all day and live in my Margaux ballet flats. This is the shoe I’d pack if I could only bring one pair.”

“A low heel and easy to slip off—this is my hosting shoe. When people come over, I want to look like I thought about it (but not too hard).”

Meet ALISON

Alison Roman is a New York-based cook, author of four New York Times bestselling cookbooks, and the founder of First Bloom, her general store, with a location upstate and a second coming to Brooklyn Heights this fall. She has strong opinions about food and, it turns out, shoes. For recipes, videos, and her newsletter, visit alisoneroman.com 

Some collaborations feel inevitable

From the beginning, it was obvious both of our brands speak the same language when it comes to merging beauty with practicality.

“There’s something Alison does that’s very hard to teach: She makes you feel confident when you cook. That same idea has always been central to Margaux,” said Alexa Buckley Roussel, Margaux Cofounder. “We want women to feel confident in their shoes because they feel comfortable and at ease in them. Alison understood that immediately, and bringing the collection to life through her perspective felt incredibly natural.”
