New Christian Siriano for Payless, Steve Madden for the Olsen Twins

Project Runway alumnus (who will soon be returning to the tube via a new Valentino-esque reality series) Christian Siriano is just shy of the debut of his second collection for Payless. But the photos of his labor hit the web yesterday, promising quite a few very cute, very, very cheap styles for the line's launch in time for the holiday season. Styles include "two pair of flats with zippers on the toes, two boots with gold zipper details, and a pair of black and gold pumps and shiny black strappy sandals, both with little gold zippers up the backs," says Racked. All heels come in an attractive upside-down cone shape and are decidedly more demure than the talon-like shoes that made their way down Siriano's well-received SS10 catwalk. The best part: "nothing's more than $49.99."

In other cheap shoe news, Steve Madden will be doing shoes for Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen’s soon-to-debut tween line for J.C. Penny, Olsenboye. But, unlike the clothes the Olsens have designed for the collection, donning Madden’s shoes for Olsenboye won’t require being in middle school. Choose from combat-inspired boots and ruffled platforms come November 6, or wait until the second shipment in February (which will include gladiator sandals and studded sandals). With nothing over $100, the styles follow suit with Siriano’s pleasantly priced wares for Payless. With Jimmy Choo x H&M launching very soon, FW09 is fast becoming the season for discount designer shoes.
