Elegance & Extravaganza from Yves Saint Laurent
| I believe that each fashion brand has its own distinctive features that make it stand out. On the base of these features we can tell one shoe designer from another. The same is with Yves Saint Laurent masterpieces. The creative director of the brand is Stefano Pilati who has worked as a designer for such famous brands as Prada, then Miu Miu. And since 2000 he has been cooperating with Yves Saint Laurent. |

| Stefano Pilati’s style can be recognized due to the designer’s ability to combine extravagant details with elegance. Personally, I see it as an extraordinary ability. So, let’s have a look at the new collection presented by the master for Fall – Winter 2010/2011.
The overwhelming majority of shoe models are made of suede that is considered noble and modest material at the same time. Pilati trimmed suede with very unusual detail – a fur fringe. Well, looking at these heels I tend to think about a bristling animal that attracts and terrifies at the same time. |

| If you share quite conservative or traditional sense of style, the designer offered a series of elegant and classic heels that feature a refined toe, a small and beautiful platform, and a high, attractive heel. Each detail of these heels is modest, classy, traditional, elegant yet modern. There is also a pattern leather shoe that looks as gorgeous as any suede model. Leather here seems more modest in comparison with “rich” suede, but it is definitely worth our attention.
By the way, not a single Fall – Winter collection can do without boots and booties. Guess what material was used for them? Yeah, it is suede. The boots look so comfy and attractive that would try them on with great pleasure. But as far as fringed shoes are concerned, they are perfect for extravagant women who want to be in the limelight. |
