Floral Patterns in Donna Karan Spring/Summer 2011 Footwear Collection
If you have wicker shoes or sandals on your wish list, you should pay attention to the new footwear collection launched by Donna Karan for Spring/Summer 2011. It is penetrated by floral patterns and is aimed at delivering a “closer-to-nature” feel.
Donna Karan makes her 2011 footwear from natural materials like wood and flax and uses natural colors and wickerwork. For instance, wicker cords are used for high lacing that fixes sandals on legs while wicker leather covers heels and platforms, which is harmoniously combined with floral patterns and wooden finish.
Wooden platforms and 70s-inspired heels were extremely popular last summer, which is still true with 2011 footwear. Donna Karan Spring 2011 shoes have wooden platforms as well as their imitations. The latter means that platforms and heels are glues over with thin wooden plates.
Another popular material for new footwear is cork. Donna Karan also uses cork in multi-layer wedges as for an intermediate layer between a platform and an insole.
Donna Karan new collection is rich in floral patterns. The shoes are embellished with true-to-life flowers and features leave-like details.
High-Heeled Sandal Shoes from Roberto Cavalli 2011 Spring-Summer Collection
Roberto Cavalli 2011 Spring/Summer Shoe collection recalls the beats of burning Africa to our mind and remind us of tribal chief footwear. All the models are equipped with high heels and some of them feature crocodile leather details.
Classic thin heels and open toes are the key features of Robetro Cavalli collection. The shoes come in brown, beige and gray color variants and are stylized to imitate snake, crocodile and lizard skin.
Roberto Cavalli used already existing sandal and bootie symbiosis design and created on its base rather an eccentric construction with exotic leather inserts. Reptile leather tops and slipshod detail shape - as if sawn together a minute ego - make the footwear look wild and breathtaking.
Dozens of thin straps firmly fix a sandal on your leg. At the same time they are interwoven into a complicated lacing to decorate sandal tops.
Such footwear is not that could be expected, it evokes rather mixed feelings of thrill and excitement. However, though tribal chief wives would certainly appreciate alligator leather sandals, the “greens” don’t approve such designer solutions, as a rule.
Yet, Roberto Cavalli offers another variant of summer sandal shoes. They are more sensible from point of view the “green,” yet don’t lose in design. There are gladiator sandals and feminine high-heeled sandals made from metal rings.
