An Italian designer Giambattista Valli debuted at Paris Fashion Week with his Haute Couture Collection of nice feminine clothes and shoes. Since it’s the designer’s first Haute Couture collection we can congratulate him on a successful show.

Giambattista Valli Haute Couture lineup includes both cocktail dresses with substantial décor and gorgeous evening attire. The couturier made black, white and red the main colors of the collection. There you can find ready-to-wear wedding dresses, black mantles à la a Sicilian widow, sexy feet-length leopard dresses and passion-colored evening dresses.

Let’s pay attention to footwear Giambattista Valli offers to finish the image of the new woman. The designer chooses a zero-risk variant in order not to outshine splendid fabric trimming and not to distract public attention from the graceful dresses.

Giambattista Valli created a neat lineup of pump shoes that in spite of their classic shape look cool here. Moreover, he embellished his shoes with magnificent décor elements that are similar to that used for dresses and jackets.

The top of the shoes is adorned with pearls, corals and tiny flowers. Another shoe design unveiled by Giambattista Valli at the fashion show was open sandals with thin satin straps.

In this post we’ll have a look at Charlotte Olympia women shoes, namely at the Resort 2012 collection. The cruise lineup includes shoes models inspired by Japanese and Spanish cultures.

The collection can’t be called entirely new for a lot of shoes are already known to Charlotte Olympia fans. Masako, Tokyo, Kabuki and Kyoto shoes done in the Japanese style were seen in the Big in Japan Spring-Summer 2008 lineup. In the cruise Resort 2012 collection the designer offers slightly altered variants of these models. For instance, an updated Origami model features a transparent strap wound round the ankle while Kabuki shoes are embellished with a new polka-dot print.

Nowadays lots of shoe and clothes designers are interested in the Japanese culture, so Charlotte Olympia Origami shoes are likely to become the hit of the season.

There’re also new shoe models in the Resort 2012 collection. The new Kimono shoes are made from the shining satin. The classic shoe design and refined décor elements make them the right shoes for red carpet events.

Another peculiarity of the collection is Espadrille shoes. The already known Carmen shoes come with an updated wedge that features rope décor this time. The popular Dolores equipped with a “rope” wedge is available in new colors within Charlotte Olympia Resort 2012 collection.

One of the most striking designers of nowadays, Vivienne Westwood, continues to create footwear models for a Brazilian shoe brand Melissa. The trademark of the company is their specific Melflex material that was patented by Melissa nearly 30 years ago. Melflex is a soft and resilient aromatized thermoplastic used for Melissa shoes and sandals.

Now let’s have a look at the new footwear collection worked out by Vivienne Westwood for the coming fall.

The hallmark of the collection is Lady Dragon Pom Pom sandals. You can immediately recognize Vivienne Westwood style in them for they are extremely naughty, catchy and simply amazing!

The next model features a heart-shaped detail on the top, the trademark of all the Vivienne Westwood shoes; the designer has only altered a color palette. There was a similar model in one of her previous collections.

The pink flats also deserve attention. Their languishing color makes them look really cool. Also you should pay attention to an absolutely new shoes model for Vivienne Westwood, namely the plastic shoes totally covered with artificial suede at the top.

There you can also find a “Skyscraper” shoe model. It’s likely that the shoes, as well as the whole collection, will achieve a skyscraper-high level of popularity soon.
