After playing a character obsessed with footwear in 'Sex and the City', actress Sarah Jessica Parker is all set to launch her own shoe range.

	Her new SJP range will also include handbags and trenches.
	"We're putting new colors together that people don't typically do, just beautiful combinations that you wish existed in your closet.
