Charlotte Olympia Shoes for Fall 2010
| Hot new footwear label Charlotte Olympia is the brainchild of Cordwainers graduate and London IT girl Charlotte Olympia Dellal. The half-Brazilian, half-English designer is inspired by the glamour of the 40s and 50s and her statement making block color sandals and quirky-cool shoe boots are already a hit with style setters Kate Moss and Sienna Miller. |
 |
| Lately the designer launched a new shoe collection that has every right to become a must have of the season. At least, it is really worth our attention. So, let’s take a look at Fall – Winter 2010/11 shoe collection from Charlotte Olympia. |
 |
| Every shoe reveals common fun, good mood and happiness. Fall does mean that we should look gloomy and dull. I would describe the collection as an eccentric, vamp and sexy one. |
 |
| The collection is based on vivid colors such as purple, deep blue, black, red and raspberry pink. Some shoes feature a combination of mentioned colors. |
 |
| The most fresh and unusual are the pumps with metallic upper. Shimmering surface of the shoes look sexy yet unobtrusive. Anyway, it is obviously meant for confident ladies. |
 |
| I personally appreciate that the collection is very diverse; the shoe models are ranging from classic yet vamp looking ankle boots to everyday and comfortable ballet flats. |
 |
| Charlotte Olympia’s distinctive feature is high heels and platforms. And the majority of shoes is based on this concept. However the collection includes several types of wedges with massive platform and made of suede or patent leather. |
 |
| Besides, there are some ballet flats made in modern hues. Besides, I personally love straps with buckles that go along the ankle. You can see in the pictures two ballet flats in leopard print, blue, green, red and purple colors. |
 |
| The shoes by Charlotte Olympia are one of the brightest and the most gorgeous footwear I have ever seen. I hope you share my admiration. |
F/W 2010: Men’s Shoes by Raf Simons
| Raf Simons is a Belgian fashion designer. He turned into a menswear designer after several years of self studying. Not everybody can boast of such patience and love to fashion as Raf has. At first, he worked with Walter Van Beirendonck in Paris, where he was exposed to the work of Martin Margiela and Jean-Paul Gaultier. |

With a variety of styles and color choices, the collection provides modern takes on the sneaker silhouette in both hi’s and low’s. Premium leathers, corduroys, and other textures appear throughout the collection, which goes heavy on straps over laces. |
 |
| The designer presents his collections twice a year, usually in Paris, but works and lives in Antwerp, Belgium. In his early years, his runway shows were unconventional: models running down a street or walking in a parking lot, on a bridge, around a photography studio. Now the location has changed, but not the approach of the designer. |
