S/S 2010: Ballet Flats from Marc Jacobs
|
Recently I have realized that it is almost a year since we talked about summer shoe collections. Looking back at those shoe lines I see a huge difference in designer decisions from collections they offer this summer. But there is still an exception. Nothing seems to be more popular than simple but charming ballet flats. And today I suggest that you take a look at Marc Jacobs version of a ballet flat for Spring – Summer 2010. The designer presented a ballet flat made of suede in black color. It features classic round toe and a very low heel that is almost invisible. Its design is simple - surface of the shoe is trimmed with fancy adornment details. To adorn a ballet flat Mark Jacobs has decided to use multicolor pastes. Sometimes pastes look excessive and obtrusive, but here it is all right. The little multicolor pastes form on the toe part an image of a mouse - a funny face, ears and a tail. I would say, the result looks quite fancy and childish. Such shoes are a perfect decision for young girls who still love to feel kids. |

The greatest advantage of the ballet flats is a combination of style and comfort. You may wear them at a small party with friends, or use them for everyday wear. The ballet flats can be paired with jeans or black short dress. What is more, every club goer will definitely enjoy them – you can dance the whole night and so not suffer from foot ache. |

And the last but not the least, we only have a price of the novelty to mention. The ballet flat designed by Marc Jacobs and featuring a funny mouse on it cost as much as $ 280. Is the flats worth this sum of money or not, it is up to you to decide. Good luck! |
Who Else Wants to Be Eco-Friendly?
| The style and the fashion have changed lots of times throughout the history. There have been numerous trends and novelties. Now the time of eco-friendly footwear has come. The reason is some materials used for manufacturing of shoes are harmful both for people and nature. Earlier nobody thought of consequences. So now some designers and footwear companies have said stop to this tendency and launched eco-friendly lines.
In search of details which could make footwear completely harmless, designers have found out something interesting. For example, it’s turned out to be possible to use the coco as a durable and smart substitute to eco-unfriendly materials. The thing is that the coco shell can be used for making buttons and snap fastener of any shape. These and other researches were actively supported and used by companies Acorn and Rocket Dog. Acorn has a tendency to use natural and earth-friendly materials that are sustainably grown, biodegradable and organic. In the result everybody can enjoy such lines as Animal-Friendly Footwear and Earth-Friendly Slippers. Almost all the footwear by Acorn is made of harmless materials and fabrics. It uses natural rubber and a glue basis as well. |

The Britney Comeback!
Britney Spears has renewed her cooperation with Candie’s footwear brand as their advertising face of Candie’s brand for its Fall footwear, clothing and accessories collection.
The artist has only recently returned from her European tour, for which she was dressed in Candie’s items head to toes. Britney even managed to feature “Radar” in her new video clip.
To be honest, the advertising posters featuring Britney Spears look somewhat bizarre and unusual, yet, they undoubtedly attract a lot of attention.
The positions in which Britney was photographed look a little ill-balanced. Besides, the posters have too much of a collage in them – it looks like the ad designers have overdone it with Photoshop a bit. The ad is also notable in the color choice – a true lot of pink in all the unexpected places – and interior elements – pink hay, a horse with pink bows, an unimaginable white and pink tent. Well, like they say, the sky is the limit to our creativity, so here we have it. To be honest, I do not think that the designers tried to created an artistic masterpiece – much rather it was an attempt to draw attention of the media and public to the brand, and make the latter stand out among the alikes.
After all Candie’s is a brand that is known to be designing simple convenient shoe models at affordable prices. The new footwear collection fully supports the tendency featuring, just like before, a lot of simple cute models perfectly fitted for everyday wear. Here you can find sandals on a cork platform with a high stable heel, gray wavy flats with a little bit of a silver sparkles to them, black peep-toe shoes that come in black and brown and can be comfortably worn with an evening dress, lively pink high-heeled sandals and a lot more.
All in all, this collection does deserve a quick glance!
