Fashion Trend - Shoe Fashion in Painted Shoes

Fashion trend or is it the fact that we are in the midst of a major recession that we want to blow caution to the wind and climb into the highest pair of heels that we can?  Ever thought of painted shoes?

I’ve just read an interesting article here on the subject of shoes.

This season is all about shoes: show-off shoes. Vast platforms, enormous wedges and scene-stealing stilettos are the common denominator uniting diverse trends from the 1970s to the 1940s.

Forget “it” bags. Don’t leave home without your “limo” heels; the sort that elevate you by 175mm and hint you have a limousine nearby and don’t have to wobble (forget walking), too far.

Far more than being mere “punctuation” to autumn/winter 2011/12 looks, a combination of the platform-wearing Lady Gaga and a global recession, which has limited our spending to punchy accessories, has made high heels the talking point of fashion.

Looming at the fashion trend of shoes in a business view for yourself, you could check out how two people went on to make millions in the shoe design sector.

Yes, Tamara Mellon and Jimmy Choo, two very successful entreprenuers were in the fortunate position to have enough backing to take their business to the busy hights of the fashion industry within a few short years and you may not have that advantage.

But don’t let that hold you back.

As you may have read from my fashion membership site(one of the online fashion courses available) I started with hardly any money and certainly no backers but then went on to export world wide.  Why am I telling you this?  To show off   Of course not, but to let you know that no matter what, you can follow your dreams too.

Going back to the shoe fashion trend of this year, we just have to think back in time to the various trends, winklepickers, (heaven forbit they come back), granny lace up shoes, brogues etc. to realise that anything is possible.

Perhaps you already have high heel shoes in your wardrope and don’t want to spend out on another pair but you are bored with them!  Why not embelish them with unique accessories.  You could paint them.  (Now I do like that idea.) Can you imagine, you own painted shoes!   Who knows you could start a fashion trend in painted shoes yourself.

A quote I read recently from David follows …
“I have chosen to communicate not in words but in shapes and tones.” and

“The message when I design is simply that to be alive is a gift, so every day whould be a celebration”

This very gifted man has gone on to motivate others to allow their creativity be explored in designer hats.

Pringle of Scotland introduced it’s new range in Milan this week … but instead of the old fashioned but long lasting cashmere classic garments, Clare Waight Keller, knitwear designer, had other garments in mind.

Was it the change in the weather which inspired the collection of outerwear knitwear garments?

Is this the future of cashmere?

We can only hope so because of the potential of future business growth in this area of design.  This is definitely a fashion trend which could have a very long way to go.

The classically tailored suits were topped with knife-pleated kilts (a trend this season) that looked smart and decidedly wearable. But it was the variations and innovations in knitwear construction that truly showed how committed the brand is to both fine craftsmanship and modernity.

Look at the following video to see more of what is happening to cashmere knitwear.  (The video is not a professional video but look closely to see what is possible.)  Galashields is a fabulous place to go to, in order to find manufacturers of your designs.

Is this something which could inspire you to  become a knitwear designer and start your own clothes business?
