Mission: Extreme Footwear Emerges As A Trend On the Spring Runway
Spring 2010 Fashion Week in New York, Milan, and Paris, were rampant with over the top shoes that were sky-high and ridiculously opulent with dramatic details and silhouettes. Designers went to great lengths to over exaggerate and super indulge us with the most unlikely, and possibly unwalkable, shoes ever. The silhouettes were bulky and fanciful with unique heel designs, odd geometric patterns, and kitschy embellishments. The designers who took the lead with a nod to the avant garde include Pierre Hardy, Dolce & Gabbana, and Camilla Skovgaard. But, the true trendsetters were Alexander McQueen and Bruno Frisoni who showcased collections with impeccable craftsmanship and creativity.
Wedges and stilettos with unique heels and soles made a big splash on the runway.
British designer Alexander McQueen’s “Titanic” ballerina pump was a fitting match to his Atlantis-themed collection with it’s antiqued brass heel that latched to the rear of the beige pump.
Mission: Jimmy Choo Steps Into H&M
Jimmy Choo is no longer just for the high-end shopping “Carrie Bradshaws” of the world. The luxury shoe brand has went mainstream with an affordable line of clothing and accessories at H&M.
The Chic Spy was on the scene in San Francisco when the eagerly-anticipated collection was introduced to the retailer’s designer-crazed customers, some of which camped out overnight to ensure a coveted spot as the first 160 to enter the store’s doors for a 10-minute shopping excursion for Jimmy Choo shoes like the electric blue cutout stiletto above.
