This Season: The Weird Design Of Shoes

Weird, eye-catching and hard to wear shoes are gaining popularity among consumers.

Designers began to pfer special designs and fabrics commonly used in handbags to shoes.

Christian Louboutin, Pierre Hardy, Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blanhnik are all the leading figures in the fashion world because of their shoe design.

If you still think you can fool around with the latest handbags, you need to think twice.

This season, the attention of passers-by will be your feet.

If you like to buy shoes, you should be familiar with Marc Jacobs's heel shoes with heel dislocation. On a pair of classic high-heeled shoes, you have a pair of high heels in opposite directions and protrude from the heel.

In the past few seasons, with this kind of strange shoes, it has become quite common. Even those who are not very old looking should have seen some clues. The special designs and fabrics commonly used in handbags were recently pferred to shoes.

Since the beginning of this year, media have predicted that women consumers will soon invest in less expensive but higher priced shoes.

Indeed, just like LuellaBartley used the name of the famous model Giselle to call her handbag, or the most classic Kelly and Birkin of Hermes, more and more shoes began to be named by celebrities: Italy designer Giambattista Valli designed Victoria shoes for Victoria Beckham, and the shoes of CalvinKlein were used by the name of the daughter of the daughter of the name of the daughter.

Once the fashion world awards the title of a single item "it", it means that it will be popular for more than a quarter of time, such as Birkin bag or Baguette of Fendi -- they are all popular handbags for years.

But now, with Miuccia Prada, it's time to change.

"The attractiveness of handbags has recently dropped slightly," she said. "I think this craze is almost over.

It's time for shoes to debut. "

The Tribute high heels of Yves Saint Laurent have become popular products because of the favor of Gwen Stefani and Jennifer Lopez.

Since the beginning of the year, sales of leather shoes in major department stores, such as Harvey Nichols in the United Kingdom and Barney 's in the United States, have shown an increasing trend. What is most worth mentioning is that the demand for customers has increased. The unreachable high heels are better than the "improved styles" which are usually low heels and easy to wear.

It's a bit hard to understand.

For many designer brands, handbags are their saviours.

These brands can not raise the sales volume of high price fashion, and refuse to earn profits through brand authorization. Handbags are a very practical accessory, not to mention their high appearance rate.

"After all, you can't turn your shoes into something so easy to display - you can't put your feet on the table."

Shoe designer Emma Hope said.

Her horse hair slippers were once a popular popular item, but the functionality of the bag actually limited its impact as fashion accessories.

"A practical handbag is a handbag with a practical shape," Hope said. "You don't feel it necessary to go all the way to do it all day long. Besides, you are not willing to pfer everything in one bag to another bag every day.

Relative to shoes, a person's demand for bags is limited.

If there is a it bag in the season, then the number of it shoes should be several pairs.

Ms. Prada's initiative conceals business motives.

The high price of handbags limits their sales to some extent.

Shoes use less time and materials than handbags.

For most retailers, the best selling ratio of shoes and handbags should be 5 to 1.

There is also the fact that handbags are easier to fake.

Of course, apart from economic reasons, leather shoes are also unique.

"Shoes are always associated with dreams and costumes. It can make women feel brand new and handbags can't," says Michael Lewis, KurtGeiger's design director. "Shoes can shape you into a new role."

If the main elements of "It-bag" are rare, expensive and long waiting lists, then the stance of "itshoe" is even more daring.

You can't find any routinely on these shoes.

Prada himself is also one of the initiator of this trend.

The surreal heel of her crooked knuckles, which was introduced in the 07 autumn and winter series, has sparked a heated debate about clothing in the newspaper, which has attracted much more attention than the envelope.

In the same way, Balenciaga's technological sense, like Meccano's Metal toy model heel, and Chlo's somewhat tall and thick wedge-shaped bottom of Dr Martens, has created a great sensation.

By the 08 spring and summer, this trend was not only because of the estrangement of aesthetics and the discomfort of wearing, but on the contrary, it became more and more intense, creating a new height of luxury and drama, from the silver high heels of Chanel Chrysler building to the Balenciaga high knee high heel Rome hollowed shoes, not to mention the series of Prada thick bottomed shoes made up of wave lines and crash colors.

As for the 08 fall and winter of the new season, fashion designers have become familiar with the strange designs mentioned above. All kinds of weird heels and shoes now appear frequently on the stretches and shop windows. With the return of square head, crocodile skin, three eye buckle and Bohemia style tassels, they have brought back an ancient and innovative sole.

It looks as if women consumers are going to be crazy - all the shoes that have been picked up are developing towards new extremes, no matter in proportion, higher and higher heels and thick and heavy soles, but also in design, such as retro, cartoon and geometric patterns.

"I think we may be tired of it bag. The luxury industry starts to shift the excitement to the shoes, so shoes suddenly become more creative, more personal and more eccentric."

Accessories designer Orla Kiely said.

If you still think that you can fool around with the latest handbags, you need to think twice.

This season, the attention of passers-by will be your feet.

Whether or not you have a pair of high heels with red shoes has not been a fresh topic for several seasons.

Christian Louboutin, whose shoes are bright red and shoes with high heels, are almost worn on the feet of every Hollywood star.

It's time to buy some new shoes.
