If a Mansur Gavriel bag is already beyond impossible to get, how much tougher would it be to get Mansur Gavriel shoes—or a dress? According to Style.com, the design team behind the brand is steering it exactly in that direction. "We've been developing clutches, among other things," the team told Style.com, noting a particular interest in suede.

While there's no set launch date yet for expansion into other categories, the pair has already given the public an idea of what to expect. At Monday night's CFDA Awards (where they picked up the Swarovski Award for Accessory Designer) the women revealed that they were wearing their own creations head-to-toe, from the dresses to the clutches to the sandals.

"We have a very specific visual world in mind for the brand, so we were excited for the opportunity to create our own looks for the evening," they told Style.com. "We made the dresses in Italy, as well as our shoes and clutches."
