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.

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?

This spring will surprise all fashion lovers by its diversity. This diversity will reveal in everything: in colors, shapes, styles and designs. We will see both sophisticated, elegant models and futuristic, extraordinary designer decisions. So, let’s have a look at the top trends of the season to come.

First of all, every shoe will look elegant and womanlike. An integral part of any shoe is high heel, lace, fur, bows and even pearls. A perfect ladylike model is presented by Alexandra Neel. Hardly anything can look more sensual and breathtaking.

Pay attention to peep toe booties that are coming back. The models vary from vintage to rock style.

Both for parties and everyday wear will perfectly go elegant wedges. They have been in fashion for a long time and they are still in the limelight.

Stable and massive platform paired with a high heel will doubtlessly drive attention of multiple coquettes.

Another good choice is bright suede shoes. Shades of green, red, blue look hot and emphasize beauty of your legs.

Do not forget about a rock style looks. Add a zest to your outfit by means of a zipper. It may go along a sole or trim the rare or front part of a shoe. Anyway it looks sexy and bold.

By the way, we have already reviewed the most successful and interesting S/S 2010 shoe collections (S/S 2010 Designer Shoes Review). So, it is high time to choose what is the most extravagant and shocking shoe of the season. Storm of applause for Alexander McQueen and his Armadillo shoe. I swear you have not seen anything more futuristic than this model. Well, it is not the best choice for everyday wear. The only person who has decided to try it is Lady Gaga. No doubt, only such an extraordinary woman could do it.
