 Common high
heels and flats come to compete with success for several seasons already in the
latest designer collections. The upcoming season spring-summer 2011 is the
challenge for many fashion designers who come with the idea to offer a compromise,
abandoning high heels, but at the same time, replacing heels with platform sole.
The demand
for shoes on platform sole is absolutely reasonable providing to bear in mind that
for many fashion industry representatives’ main sources of inspiration for the
new season come the style of '70s. The disco fever of '70s will be back again
to fashionmongers the next summer expressed in flats, sandals, clogs on the
high and solid platform.
The height
in danger
Still,
nothing can be clearly defined as of the style adopted in the seventies and
presented in the new collections – the bright clogs on the platform in match
with bell bottoms jeans were left behind in the far-off past. Instead, in the
spring-summer season 2011 is presented by fashion designers with the models of
exquisite platform sandals in blend with high, but massive and stable heel.
So, the
collection of the prominent shoe designer Brian Atwood offers classic sandals
on cork platform with the high and thick rectangular heel. Furthermore,
Karl Lagerfeld, while creating a new collection for Chanel, focused on the
platform of really dangerous height in shoes, while the prominent master in
shoe industry Christian Louboutin demonstrated the clogs on a very thick and
solid cork platform. Based on the new collection by Louboutin, the platform has
really become the most crucial trend in the next summer season, yet, the
designer released boots, sandals and clogs, and even chic evening shoes on
platform, combined with a high heel which looks really amazing.
Clogs on
massive platform have come with the new collection spring-summer 2011 prepared by
the Italian fashion duo D&G where the designers have matched cork platform
with the original prints, from the customary floral patterns up to the vivid
stripes.
The main
collection of Dolce & Gabbana designers, in the meantime, represented stylish
sandals with wooden platform and thick heel enough with lacy decoration details
and leopard prints. Yet, the American designer Donna Karan launched graceful business
shoes on platform with classic low heel for the new collection for DKNY.
Ankle boots
on platform sole
The other
trend for the coming up spring-summer season 2011 is the birth or revival of
ankle boots on platform sole especially designed for cool spring times. So, the
American designer Alexander Wang offered ankle boots with open toe and the low
and very solid heel to be of very practical function in his latest collection.
The
futuristic design coupled with the vivid colors and the combination of platform
and very high and solid heel is seen in ankle boots from the new collection by
Givenchy. Yet, pretty customary ankle boots with open toe on high subtle heel
and platform were offered with pride in the latest collection of the American
fashion brand Ralph Lauren.
Platform shoes
for evening wear
The
combination of high heel, exactly the high heel but not stiletto so common for
most evening shoes to go out, and the solid massive sole specified the trend
for the evening shoes of the up-coming season spring-summer 2011. Thus, Donna
Karan represented trendy evening shoes from subtle golden leather to perfectly
match the warm and natural shade of the wooden platform and heel.
In the
meantime the fashion designer Nicholas Kirkwood presented evening shoes of
luxurious satin with an unusual platform created from a row of large beads.
Traditional
evening summer shoes on high heel on a small platform are offered by Christian
Dior House offering motley shades for shoes to enjoy the customers. The shoes
exert attention with the deep juicy tinges of fuchsia, turquoise, yellow color with
loads of decorative items, from feathers to beads, and animal prints. John
Galliano, for instance, preferred a higher platform sole with a thin
breathtaking heel to completely strike the ladies.
Shoes,
whether on platform solid heel or high stiletto heel, are mainly designed for
comfort to wear but sometimes the ones created by reputed designers are only
for runways since they come as dangerous and risky to wear for everyday life.
