Valentino 2011 – Haute Couture Fall-Winter Collection
Speaking about Fall-Winter 2011/12 Haute Couture collections, one shouldn’t forget about Valentino 2011 Haute Couture shoes. The collection includes models inspired by the culture of the East as well as royal splendor.
The Fall collection of Valentino 2011 Haute Couture shoes combines several styles. There you can find Eastern caftans, gorgeous embroidery as if taken from the last Tsar family, royal velvet and Faberge-style finish for clothes. It took Valentino designers 300 hours to finish the dress in Faberge style, so difficult is the task!
Airy dresses are coupled with the shoes to match the design of such unusual garments. On the runway you could see semi-transparent Valentino 2011 shoes and short booties made of embroidered delicate lace. V-shaped toes resemble that of traditional Oriental shoes, but unlike their historic prototype Valentino 2011 shoes are equipped with a graceful stiletto heel.
There you can also find a shoe model of the same construction but made from silver sputtered leather and canvas trimmed golden. Lace up design with straps wound round the ankle makes the shoes extremely stylish.
Valentino 2011 Haute Couture collection also includes gorgeous velvet shoes. During the Renaissance velvet was a universally recognized court material. In this way velvet creates royal mood and monarchic character of the whole collection.

This summer Iris Van Harpen designer from the Netherlands unveiled two avant-garde collections, the Escapism Couture Spring-Summer 2012 collection shown at Berlin Fashion Week and the Capriole Haute Couture Fall-Winter 2011 collection at High Fashion Week in Paris. The Fall-Winter 2011 footwear was worked out by United Nude.
Both collections have similar stylistic features that reveal the brand style of Iris Van Harpen conceptual designer. Furthermore, a stylist Sheila Single used the same shoe models for both fashion shows, the shoes being created by United Nude brand specially for Iris Van Harpen.
Since United Nude avant-garde footwear is beyond the seasons, one and the same bootie models appear on different fashion shows of the Dutch brand.

By the ways, Iris Van Harpen was called another McQueen after Berlin Fashion Week.

Chanel 2011 Haute Couture Fall Footwear Collection
Karl Lagerfeld adds new footwear to his Haute Couture collection. The new Chanel 2011 Haute Couture boots were unveiled at Paris Fashion Week and they definitely stand out of the crowd of classic evening shoes shown by other Fashion Houses.
As a rule, you can see only graceful shoes and sandals or ankle booties on High Fashion runways, but this rule is “violated” by Jean Paul Gaultier, Dior and Chanel who breathe a new life in high-top boots. For, instance, last year Karl Lagerfeld launched a gorgeous lineup of Haute Couture boots embroidered with beads. This year Chanel 2011 Haute Couture collection includes thigh-high boots.
Chanel managed to make their Haute Couture boots feminine and smart. The jackboots shown off on the runway are made from a thin transparent mesh combined with leather insets and details with bright sputtering.
The toes of Chanel 2011 boots are traditionally black while this time Massaro shoe-makers used a figured detail with smooth lines to finish them.
Chanel 2011 Haute Couture collection also includes leather booties and booties made from embroidered textile fabrics to match the corresponding skirts and costumes.
You should also pay attention to the “illuminated” shoes featuring front flashlights mounted inside the platform, which is extremely cool for night walks.
