High Economic Trend Of High Heels

IBM released a survey on high-heeled shoes, which analyzed data from hundreds of millions of posts on social media.

Analysis shows that over the past two years,

High-heeled shoes

The height is decreasing.

The discovery surprised them.

"Usually, every time the economy goes down, heels will increase, but this time it will be different.

Perhaps because of the long-term deflation, it has stimulated consumers' desire to save food and clothing.

Dr. Trevor Davis, a specialist in IBM, said.

The model is a new high-heeled shoe. She is the representative of newlook in 50s.

The fashion world disagrees with this conclusion.

Colleen Sherin, senior fashion director at Sax's boutique department of Fifth Avenue, said this is just like a "skirt index" and "lipstick index". It's just a speculation. In fact, "everything is fashion cycle."

Another fashion expert in New York, Valery Steel, Professor of Valerie Steele at F I T college, is more direct. In her view, evidence from internet talk is simply untenable: "it can be attributed to a famous saying by Mark Twain:" lies, Damned Lies and data. "

It is also believed that there is a certain connection between heel height and economy, for example, during the Great Depression of last 20s and 30s, "

Economics

The worse the shoe heel is, the higher it is.

"We do not feel this kind of influence. As designers, we still hope that the shoes will be more beautiful, keep the style, and do not make big adjustments because of the big environment."

Stephen Chi told the magazine.

He's Stella Luna.

Chief designer

He has been designing high heels for 16 years.

Stella Luna is popular among white-collar women because of its fashionable design and affordable price positioning.

Compared with most women's shoes, Stella Luna is more like fashion shoes. It is more sexy and heels are higher.

A pair of Stella Luna women's shoes are usually about seven or eight centimeters high. For those women who haven't received the training of high heels, this is still a challenging height.

Stiletto is one of the most popular women's high-heeled shoes nowadays, because the heel is named like a dagger.

"Beauty and comfort, when we grasp the two balance point, are beautiful or a higher proportion -- of course comfort is also important.

Our shoes are high, but they are not enough for people to wear. "

If the report says, cutting a few centimeters at a height of 7 centimeters is the designer's headache.

Middle heeled shoes are the most difficult to design shoes.

It is comfortable and beautiful, and is very difficult to do.

But this kind of shoes still need to be done. I design a lot every year.

Many shoes are thrown directly into the dustbin after the design is finished. "

Chi Le people told this magazine.

In the process of design, the height of heels is not the main factor they consider.

"What we consider is how to grasp the lines of shoes.

From the design point of view, there is a ratio in the ratio of the front and rear parts of shoes, the ratio of shoe lines, etc.

For example, 7 centimeters of shoes themselves are not too high. If you add the front waterproof platform and the heel of coarse fertilizer, the balance point of shoes will not be right.

There are many tricks in design. The heel height you see is not necessarily the actual height.

There's a lot of poor vision in the design. "

Qi Le people said.

Is it true that heel changes are completely unaffected by the economy? Looking back over the past century, an interesting phenomenon will be found: almost every recession is the period of high heeled shoes.

Charleston dance shoes were all the rage in the 20s of last century.

Every jazz woman in the jazz age has such a pair of shallow, low heeled leather shoes.

But its brilliance only lasted until 1929.

After the great depression, high heeled shoes and thick sole shoes gradually replaced the position of Charleston dancing shoes.

In 50s, Mr. Dior joined hands with Roger Vivier to unveiled a pair of high-heeled women's shoes, because the heel was sharp and thin, like a dagger, called "Stiletto".

Since its birth, Stiletto has been regarded as

Sexy shoes

The representative.

60s is a prosperous era, but high-heeled shoes are not more prosperous.

Because of the rise of the feminist movement, women's high-heeled shoes such as "Stiletto" are regarded as "men's imprisoned women".

At this time, popular shoes, round head, lace everywhere, ballet shoes, square heels are popular.

In the old photos of 60s, I saw a girl like Twiggy: she wore short hair, wore a A shaped mini skirt, and shoes with shallow leather shoes.

But by 70s, a good day for thick bottom shoes has come again.

In the Biba store in London, 75 thousand pairs of thick sole shoes were sold in just a few months.

In the weekend night fever, John Kufta wore a pair of Cuban thick shoes at the beginning, which became the classic of that time.

What is interesting is that the film was taken in 1977, two years after the second oil crisis.

King Louis Jula is a famous high heeled shoe enthusiast.

Elizabeth Cem Heike Semmel-hack, a senior curator of the Bata footwear Museum in Toronto, represents another view: these phenomena do exist, but they are only "casual observations" and do not constitute solid evidence. "Elizabeth"

For footwear designers, subtle changes in heels are not enough for them to change, even though the economic environment is affecting them.

"In recent years, the heel is actually about the same height.

Many of the changes are the color, texture and design details of shoes.

Qi Le people said.

In the latest season's design, Qi Le people used a lot of bright colors. In the past, he used more conservative black and gray colors.

"I didn't even use black this year."

Qi Le told the journal, "there may be some relationship with the environment.

Now there's hardly any good news in the news.

You can't design anything dark.

Shoes are women's feelings.

She is in a state of today, and shoes will be known.

Carla Freeman (Carla Freeman) is an anthropology professor. In her monograph entitled "high-tech and high-heeled shoes in the global economy", she talked about the subtle relationship between high-heeled shoes and the economy.

She studied black Caribbean women who worked everyday with computers.

In the process of "professionalization", they have integrated into the global economic system, not only in terms of skills, but also in appearance, through a specific set of dress codes, they have entered another class.

Freeman wrote: "for these" informationalized workers ", becoming a respectable woman does not require the family life after marriage, but rather the work of" professionalization ".

In their suits, you can find the elements that match them: the right length.

skirt

, sleeveless shirt, stockings and high heels. "

Here, the "sleeveless shirt" is considered as the synonym for "working in a senior office with central air conditioning". The meaning of "high heels" is "never use manual labor".

No matter whether the height of heel is related to economy, its height is directly proportional to its class.

Shoes did not suddenly increase by 3 inches from the day they invented.

It is obvious that high heels come into being only after "no labor" becomes possible. In other words, there must be class stratification in this society.

In ancient Egypt, all civilians were barefoot, only the nobility could wear shoes.

In ancient Greece and Rome, there is a thick sole called Kothorni, which is very popular on the stage of drama.

The actors wear shoes of different heights, representing different classes.

During the French Revolution, high-heeled shoes were regarded as a sign of class differences and were not allowed by the revolutionary party.

In 1791, Napoleon issued a decree prohibiting wearing high-heeled shoes to show "everyone is equal."

But the ban did not stop everyone's enthusiasm for high-heeled shoes. When Marian Tony de walked up to the scaffold in 1793, he still wore shoes up to 2 inches.

In Italy, people laugh and say that the inventor of high-heeled shoes is a jealous Venice husband. In order to "stop the occurrence of illicit relationships", he lets his beautiful wife wear high and heavy soles.

High heeled experts will explain why: this kind of thick sole shoes with feet apart from the ground seems to be stable, but it is actually more difficult to wear than ordinary high-heeled shoes.

Because there is no room for the arch, it is very unsuitable for walking.

"Generally speaking, pressure is at the back of the foot when walking.

Walking on high heels is not the same. The pressure is concentrated in the front.

The front and rear parts of the shoes have enough location, and there is an arc to make them comfortable.

Chi Le people told the journal, "6 cm to 7 cm is the most comfortable height.

When walking, the pressure is in front and the back has enough support. As long as the root is not very thin, it will be more stable.

The heel is too low, no radian, and wearers will feel tired. "

Anyway, the Italian contribution to high heels is obvious to all.

High heeled shoes really become popular, thanks to the most prosperous family of Italy in sixteenth Century, the princess of the Medici family Princess Catherine.

Catherinede Medici is petite and not beautiful.

At the age of 14, she married far away from France.

In order to compare with the gorgeous and tall female officer in the French court, Catherine wore a pair of two inch high heels on the big wedding day, which was allegedly from Da Vinci's hand.

These special shoes not only made her stand in the crowd, but also gave her swan like gait.

With her influence, high heels quickly became a trend.

Among the followers of Catherine, the most famous one is queen Marie of Scotland. The nickname of the people is "bloody Marie".

Rodgers, wearing high heels, influenced the fashion of the 30s of last century.

What is interesting is that the height of heels is closely related to the prosperity of the country's economy in the first few centuries when high-heeled shoes became popular.

In France, the golden age of high-heeled shoes began in eighteenth Century, during the time of King Louis Jula.

The "Sun King" preferred high-heeled shoes and gave birth to the important "Louis shoes" in the history of high-heeled shoes.

The heels of these shoes are usually very high, often 5 inches or even higher, and embroidered with exquisite patterns.

These shoes were popular for many years until the advent of the French Revolution.

High heels were popular in the middle of the nineteenth Century in Britain.

People in the Vitoria age believed that high back shoes were European and aristocratic, whereas on the contrary, they were not elegant enough.

Britain has now completed the industrial revolution.

The height of heel has also been varied.

After entering twentieth Century, people gradually tended to comfortable flat bottomed or short heeled shoes.

Europeans' shoes look wide and short during the roaring 20s and the following "depressed 30s".

In Hollywood, Americans seem to be challenging the traditional French fashion standard -- the more heel of Giner shoes on the feet of female stars such as Roger Rogers.

Dr. Trevor Davis explained that "the lower the economy, the higher the heel is," this phenomenon is: "consumers choose a more dazzling fashion dress as a fantasy and escape."
