Alexander McQueen 2011 Sandals from Spring-Summer Collection
Spring-Summer collection designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen 2011 has already gathered a great deal of positive feedback while lots of fashion journalists from all over the world have paid special attention to it.
The main theme of the Spring-Summer Alexander McQueen 2011 collection is an unsurpassed beauty of nature. In this post we well have a closer look at a pair of high heeled sandals adorned with wheat spikelets. If you’d like to describe the style of these nude colored suede sandals with a pair of words, the right words will be “harvest fest.”
These Alexander McQueen 2011 sandals look like the genuine work of art thanks to Sarah Burton’s creativity. They are embellished with a wicker golden colored strap that holds hand-made spikelets resembling natural ones in the best way.
On the runway the sandals were shown within Alexander McQueen 2011 clothes collection and were combined with a nice dress done in the same style. Its girdle is embellished with spikelets as well. It should be mentioned that there were few ideas of this kind over the last years, so Sarah Burton managed to succeed in originality.
Although the sandals are not that functional for wearing in the city, they are likely to become a desired accessory for a number of fashion girls. Moreover, the sandals are immediately recognizable, so you can easily “inform” the public about your fashion consciousness and good taste.
Iris Van Harpen Haute Couture Collection for Fall-Winter 2011
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.
For instance, it’s true about lace up Crystallization booties from Spring-Summer 2010 collection as well as Synesthesia booties from Fall-Winter 2010/2011 collection. The latter has been recently spotted on Lady Gaga’s feet.
The Escapism Couture Spring Summer 2012 and Capriole Fall-Winter 2011 collections include new footwear models as well. The sandals with a flat wedge were created by United Nude while curved heels are inspired by Alexander McQueen works. By the ways, Iris Van Harpen was called another McQueen after Berlin Fashion Week.
Christian Dior 2011 Haute Couture Shoes - Fall Collection
Christian Dior have shown off their 2011 Haute Couture Shoes at High Fashion Week that took place at the beginning of July in Paris. The show was held under the motto “Christian Dior without Galliano,” the collection itself being created under the guidance of an alternate creative director Bill Gaytten .
Bill Gaytten has been working hand in hand with John Galliano. After a sudden dismissal of the latter he was lucky to become the head of the fashion house. Let’s have a look at how the designer managed to cope with such a difficult task and consider his 2011 Haute Couture shoe collection for Fall 2011.
The new 2011 Haute Couture collection is dedicated to circus art. The theme is revealed through spectacular accessories and bright make up the models wear. In order to create an integral image, the architectural hats from Philip Tracy and “color blocking” outfits are coupled with toy-like shoes.
Haute Couture 2011 collection from Christian Dior includes “surprise sandals.” The front part of them looks quite traditionally while it was the platform that was touched by the creative designer thought. The top contrasts with a dollish heel hidden under a plastic ball and abstract triangular elements.
It seems that the creative team led by Bill Gaytten and his right hand Susanna Venegas tried to surpass John Galliano in term of crazy fashion, but if the latter was able to put craziness into elegant shapes the new Christian Dior leaders didn’t manage to achieve such a success. The shoes are only proper for wearing at a fashion parade and it’s very hard to imagine them anywhere else.
* “Color Blocking” is a new fashion trend notable by the combination of several colors or color blocks within one and the same clothes or footwear model.
The Most Expensive Shoes in the World Search Their Owner
Expensive things don’t have the owners sometimes, as not many people are able to spend so much money on luxury. The most expensive shoes, for instance, have been on sale for five month already and nobody dared to buy them. They were designed by Christopher Michael Shellis and cost 140,000 pound ($ 319 460).
There’s no accident that these Christopher Michael Shellis shoes are called the most expensive shoes in the world. They are made of gold and are adorned with 2 thousand diamonds. The design is rather simple, but this simplicity is easily compensated by gorgeous material they are made of.
Christopher Michael Shellis is a jeweler from Great Britain. He has been working on these shoes for three years, but he hasn’t still received money from his masterpiece. A lot of people have expressed their wish to buy this lux pair of shoes, but there were no specific proposals.
These are not just simple shoes; they look like the real jewelry embellishment for women’s legs. When you look at the most expensive shoes from Christopher Michael Shellis you feel as if you have dug them out of the ground after a thousand-year term and that they were once the attribute of an ancient queen.
Still, the shoes look so delicate and fragile that their possible owner is not likely to try them on. The shake-like straps are entirely covered with glittering diamonds while a steel heel looks exceptionally charming.
