| Rock style has been incredibly popular for many years and even decades. At first, it was only the trend of music. Later on, the rock mania has spread to other spheres of our life. So what can we see now? The rock style has come into fashion lately. Look out, men! Today women wear rock style shoes. The only thing is fashion designers add a bit of glamour to their masterpieces. And as a result we can see impressive and sometimes shocking models. Well, let us take a good look at them. |
 |
| The first offer for fashion lovers was made by designers of Givenchy. Actually, this brand is known for creating the most unexpected and vanguard shoe models. Thus it is no wonder that a new rock style shoe from Givenchy has been included in the list of the hottest novelties of the season. |
| The distinctive feature of the shoe is numerous adornments. But don’t think that it is precious stones or beads, nothing of the sort; the top of the shoe is trimmed with multiple spikes, even the part of sole is adorned with them. The shoe features a high triangle heel that looks quite aggressive due to the quantity of spikes. Nevertheless, the designers have tried to soften aggressiveness by matching the shoe with light short dress made of silk. |
 |
| But the second model is much more womanly and refined. This shoe is the result of Proenza Schouler designers’ imagination. The rock style in their shoe is far less aggressive. The sandal features silver metal rivets. Moreover, only the part of upper is trimmed with them, while the rest of the shoe is quiet in color and style. The designers made an emphasis on laces twisting the ankle. |
 |
| And at last the most quiet and feminine model is presented by Sergio Rossi. The designer used lots of thin straps adorned with black crystals. The zest of the model is an unusual zigzag heel which makes the shoe look surrealistic. In fact, designers offer lots of interesting variants of Surrealistic Shoes which are one of the latest trends for fall-winter 2009/10. |

| Can we say that fashion is art? Some designers try to persuade us that it is. Creating new collections they not only manufacture shoes but turn them into works of art. As a rule such footwear is made only for admiring but the most brave fashion lovers may use it in practice. But now I offer you to take a good look at some of these extraordinary models made in surrealistic style. |
 |
| The author of this shoe is a famous designer Nicholas Kirkwood who is known for making unusual and creative shoes and accessories. The material of the shoe is a blend of suede and lizard leather. The first detail that draws attention is a heel. It seems that a part of it has been cut. The same is with a platform which looks detached from the shoe. It wonders that the shoe is very steady. |
 |
| A famous shoe designer Rupert Sanderson, known for creating a shoe collection for Karl Lagerfeld brand, has decided to make an emphasis on the heel as well. His shoe features a heel decorated with a little axe. The ankle boot is made in the gothic style. Black patent leather proves that. Moreover, the shoe has a transparent plastic insert. The designer added it for maximum effect. So be careful, men, gothic women are coming. |
 |
| Talking about surrealistic collections I can’t but mentioning Dolce&Gabbana brand that presented its own surrealistic variants. By the way, all the collection is dedicated to Elsa Schiaparelli who is regarded as one of the most prominent figures in fashion between the two World Wars. That’s why the top of the shoe is decorated with a well-known picture in Elsa Schiaparelli’s style. |
| Continuing the unusual-heel-topic, look at this peep-toe. Surrealistic, isn’t it? And what about these sandals? Who knows maybe in future we will all enjoy wearing these masterpieces. |
