"   It was Joss Stone&amp;#039;s penchant for bare feet that led to a call from Nine West&amp;#039;s Creative Director Fred Allard.  &amp;quot;She was barefoot! So I called and asked if she needed some shoes,&amp;quot; he said in their New York showroom last night. &amp;quot;But seriously, I love music, and the idea of Vintage America is to link the brand to music, to give it texture.&amp;quot; Joss agrees, &amp;quot;I see fashion as art and an expression of yourself and music is exactly the same thing.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a soul and there&amp;#039;s a sole!&amp;quot; agreed Fred. The British singer&amp;#039;s teamed up with the high street shoe brand to design a capsule collection for fall including the lace up bootie at left and a shearling thigh high boot in brown, shown after the jump.   But don&amp;#039;t expect to see Joss teetering around in them. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m crap in heels,&amp;quot; she told ELLE. &amp;quot;But I do love them. When I went to high school I used to wear really big heels, but then I got super tall and insecure about my height. When I was younger I shot up before everyone else! Which I guess is why I wore no shoes. But if you&amp;#039;re going to wear shoes they should be a sexy pair, otherwise don&amp;#039;t wear them at all.&amp;quot; The winter boots may not scream sex appeal, but they&amp;#039;re already brainstorming a summer collection which Joss hopes will burst with color. &amp;quot;Fred was like, &amp;#039;Pipe down with your colors!&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; Joss said of the boots. &amp;quot;But we&amp;#039;ll get it in there for summer.&amp;quot;   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
