Keyshapes contributes 
to the 'Footwear and Fashion Extras' SS09 "Predictor"
'Footwear and Fashion Extras'
October '08 issue (pg 15) features comments from keyshapes.com:
Dawn Linley-Hill, Design Director for keyshapes.com, provided FFE footwear predictions for SS09.
"SHOE SILHOUETTES ARE CHIC LADIES WEAR FOR SS09 AND STRAPPY EVENINGWEAR SANDALS AND STUDDED STRAPS ARE PARTICULARLY POPULAR. Even workwear shoes are benefiting from a little extra height, with platform courts and sandals taking their place as key shapes for the summer season. RETAILERS SHOULD BEWEAR OF BUYING INTO TOO MUCH BLING THOUGH and trends such as neon colours should be bought into with an element of caution - less is more.
FOR MEN, MEANWHILE, PATENT LEATHER ON FORMALS IS HUGH and classic white leathers are enhanced with neon flashes. Make sure men's shoes do not cross the line into being overstyled however, and STEER WELL CLEAR OF CHEAP NON_BRANDED CANVAS when buying into summer footwear." |
