It is good news for people who try to protect nature that more and more fashion designers are paying their attention to ecological issues designing eco-friendly lines of clothes, shoes, accessories and bags. Though the number of such designers is not impressive, the fact of green awareness most of them show from time to time also has an important meaning for the idea. |
Recently a world known and respected fashion designer Manolo Blahnik presented a new line of eco friendly shoes to celebrate the Earth Day and to support the ‘green’ idea. The line includes open toed ankle boots and comfortable flats. The ankle boots feature a high heel and a small lace. It is made of soft and elegant suede and available in two color options: in green, of course, and in classic black hue. The black version represents the Earth Night. You cannot deny that the booties look fabulous, especially when they were exhibited with vine wrap ankle straps. The booties were inspired by the Roman Goddess of nature Flora. The soothing hues of crème and beige with different tints of green on it and in the shapes of flowers and vines doubtlessly make for a celebration. The designer believes that these flowers and motif can bring you closer to the Mother Nature. |
The flats that are included in the ‘green’ line are made in beige and feature thin straps for good support. The shoe is embellished with a combination of leaves on the top. There is an adjustable strap with a tiny metallic buckle. The flats are a perfect variant for active summer. These shoes enable you to get the combination of cutting edge new designs with the traditional methods that are used to put these shoes together. Now we know that ‘green’ items can be trendy too. |

| Bruno Frisoni presented in his collection unique and stylish ankle boots that can be easily transformed into thigh-high boots. They look like ankle boots with wide straps and covered heel and toe part. The entire surface looks like a knitted knee-length socks that can be tucked up the leg. How to wear these unusual boots depends only on your imagination. |
 |
| Dolce&Gabbana have another perception of the trend. The brand presented ankle boots, the entire surface of which is made of the fabric while the heel and the sole are covered with python leather. That is a gorgeous combination. The upper part features a knitted elastic band for comfort. |

| It seems to be too early to think about cold and rainy days of the season to come, still some designers have already presented their new collections for Fall – Winer 2010/11. Pierre Hardy also unveiled his shoe collection, and I suggest that you take it into account. |
  |
| Pierre Hardy’s shoe collection for Fall – Winter 2010/11 comprises of a wide choice of ankle boots and shoes and sandals. If you asked me to describe shoes and sandals presented in the collection in several words, I would choose such words as femininity and elegance. Ankle boots, on the contrary, cannot be considered so exquisite, they feature savage spirit that is perceived thanks to inserts from fur. |
  |
| It is nice to see diversity of materials, styles and colors as the last thing we want on rainy autumn days is dull and gloomy look. The designer presented several shoe models made of suede. He used bright and sensual hues of red, pink, blue, etc. Look at the suede sandals, their distinctive feature is beautiful drape. It goes along the heel part or along the top. Other suede models are beautifully trimmed with crystals and feathers. The same adornments you can see n collections of other fashion designers for Fall and Winter to come, which means that it might become a new trend. |
  |
| Ankle boots are deliberately made of rough leather and negligent fur inserts. That makes you feel strong and confident, though such a shoe is not for every woman. However, I appreciate it when designer try to take into account diverse styles and characters creating their collections. |
  |
| Besides boyish leather and fur booties, Pierre Hardy included in the collection futuristic version of ankle boots. They are made of metalized leather in silvery hue. They feature a unique and extravagant design that definitely stands out. |

| What feelings and thought does summer awake in you? As for me, I see summer days as the most amazing, fabulous and vivid season of the year. So it is no wonder that some fashion designers decided to transfer the idea of brightness into fashion. As a result, one of the most popular trends for summer 2010 is neon hued shoes. Let’s take a closer look at the most interesting shoe models according to my point of view. |
 |
| If you need some positive thoughts choose summer version of ankle boots created by Loeffler Randall. The surface of the booties features multiple perforated holes that is essential on hot summer days as they allow the skin breathing. A bright yellow color acts like a petite lighthouse that attracts everybody’s attention. |
| Not the whole surface of a shoe must necessarily be neon colored, it is enough to trim a shoe with a stand out detail to create a fabulous look. At least, that is how Victor&Rolf sees the trend. His flat sandals are made in nice and quite pastel hue and only some roses on the top add neon spice and special character to the construction. |
 |
| Jimmy Choo seems to enjoy the trend as well. His sandal is one of the most futuristic models within the trend. He created sandals with neon platform and heels. The combination of red, black and yellow resulted explosive. If you dare put on Jimmy Choos, you are a bold girl. |
 |
| And the last bright shoe in my list is a sandal created by Nicolas Kirkwood. I love the style of the designer, and this shoe is not an exception. Its design is unusual – the designer added a partition between a heel and a sole. Besides, he created a gorgeous blend of neon green and purple. By the way purple inserts are made of python leather, which adds a zest to the sandal. |
