S/S 2010: Something New from Jimmy Choo

And one more time we are glad to present a new shoe line from such a famous and beloved designer as Jimmy Choo. In a few words, I would describe his new line as the one full of bright colors, architectural shapes, sensual details. It is as sexy and feminine as the previous ones. Jimmy Choo does not give his main concept of womanlike shoes, which is revealed in every detail.

A season to come the designer has decided to make an emphasis on complex constructions from straps. You can also see in the collection a sort of shoes that remind open toe ankle boots. Jimmy Choo is a second designer to suggest the idea of summer variant of boots, you can compare the result with Gianni Barbato Summer Boots.

The hit of the collection is Quito heels. Quito is available in several colors: black and multicolor snake leather print. The heel features multiple thin straps that sensually girdle the foot and ankle. The shoe model is advised to wear paired with a leather handbag trimmed with long fringe.

Another shoe models that is worth mentioning is Shakira. The shoe is associated with passionate dances. The peep toes seem to be designed specially for dance floor. The construction is more open that Quito’s one, and goes in black color.

Zena sandal is a combination of two modern trends. It features not only stylish straps but also an unusual heel. A high platform supplements the whole image. The steady heel is made of two parts – wooden and transparent. In the result the sandal seem to have a super thin stiletto heel because a transparent part is not seen.

As for me, a new collection presented by Jimmy Choo look very sophisticated and elegant. It is perfect both for everyday use and special events.

Gianni Barbato S/S 2010: Summer Boots

Who have made it up that boots and booties are good only for cold seasons? Actually, nobody has ever affirmed the idea. On the contrary, now we have a shoe designer who has decided to face the unfair opinion and turn it upside down. I am talking about Gianni Barbato who has got tired of centuries old stereotypes and presented in his new shoe collection a mixture of all seasons. Let’s take a look at some shoe models presented in the collection.

Gianni Barbato S/S 2010: Summer Boots

The line comprises a vast range of booties and boots designed specially for warm weather. You can see here a designer decision that brings a shoe industry to a whole new level. This concept is hard to accept because we have got used to traditional shoe models and styles. That is why Gianni Barbato shoes have become a revolution in its sphere. Besides, there are shoes in the collection that can be considered real works of art. Let’s take, for example, these boots - sandals. They combine black laces, sheer material reminding a veil that girdles a leg tightly. What is more, the boot features a beautiful, unusual gilded heel and a platform. The toe and heel part are also cover with gilded material that goes along the leg up to the upper part. Gianni Barbato’s imagination can work miracles - the designer did not confine himself to unprecedented design but added extravagant details creating a real work of art.

Another shoe model that can be exposed at the art gallery is elegant booties. They feature the same futuristic platform with amazing heel as the previous model. But it is black and not girdled. The bootie has no bright colors and fancy details. It is elegant, strict, and sophisticated. Delicate embroidery goes along the whole surface creating beautiful pattern. I swear that I have never seen anything like this before.

It is only a few days since People’s Choice Award took place but the whole world of fashion is studying thoroughly results of the event. The Fashion Police have not wasted time as well, and now they present to our attention outfit of Jessica Alba. But as usual we will drive our attention to celebrity’s shoes.

It is common knowledge that celebrities have always considered trendsetters. Millions of people follow their every outfit and style, then trying to imitate it. Jessica Alba is a beautiful and successful actress, so she is one of celebrities to be pioneer and trendsetter for a whole lot of fashion lovers.

Thanks to her beauty and awesome outfit Jessica has driven attention of her numerous fans. The actress appeared at People’s Choice Award red carpet in Burberry Prorsum shoes from the latest collection Spring – Summer 2010. The sandals are made of bright grey leather, and feature massive platform and multiple knots. You can see knots everywhere: they girdle the ankle, go along the foot to the front part. I cannot but mentioning also a high triangle heel that adds sexy look of a modern, alluring and self-confident woman.

When I am looking at these knots I tend to think for some reason about cruise and luxurious yachts. I suppose that is because of knots that remind me fisher’s knots. Who knows what Burberry Prorsum designers had in mind creating the shoes?

Actually, the model has a huge platform, so it is the right choice for the one who loves massive platforms, and if not, that would look inappropriate. It is rather difficult to look feminine and sensual in such a model. Maybe that is why Burberry Prorsum’s designers chose Jessica to present their novelty, because her womanlike appearance cannot be spoilt.

The platform costs a fortune but according to the overwhelming majority of fashion lovers it is not worth such a sum. And what do you think?

The trend is used by lots of shoe designers but what we have is tough rock shoes that will never add a zest to your outfit. The thing is spikes may look not only aggressive but also rather feminine as, for example, these heels from the world renowned shoe designer Christian Louboutin.

It is common knowledge that Louboutin always uses the most popular accessories but he turns them into something uncommon and extravagant. Everybody uses spikes today but Louboutin’s masterpieces stand out among them because he has managed to turn spikes into sensual and womanlike shoe details.

The top part of the shoe is made of transparent plastic and adored with silvery spikes. Bright metal perfectly goes with “silvered” leather of an ankle strap. The outer part of a stiletto heel and a sole are also trimmed with “silvered” leather. In general, they look elegant and sophisticated.

And what about Louboutin’s signature, I mean his famous red sole? The designer has never been false to himself. And this shoe is not an exception. There is no doubt that silvery tints curiously contrast with red sole, do not they?

Now the question is what to wear with these elegant sandals? I can figure out them paired with a light and beautiful evening dress made of black silk, for example. Or you may try it with a sexy mini. The point is to feel in your shoes.

And the last but not the least details is the price of the designer work of art. The heels are available at about $ 975. Is these shoe worth this sum of money or not, it is up to you to decide.
