As a brand, Gucci is known for its quirky and sometimes out-of-the box aesthetics. Few other companies could have triggered such a widespread interest in fringe, and even less can pull of that countryside chic look that they worked last season. For its 2009 Cruise collection, not many eyebrows were raised about Gucci’s eccentric choice of theme: tattoos and tortoise prints.

Now, many of you might have gotten excited when Gucci’s whole love for tattoos began last year with the Tattoo Heart bags, a charity effort for global nonprofit UNICEF. And for its new collection, the brand brings the tattoo several steps further – literally.

At first, the term ‘tattoo-print shoes’ almost sounds like an oxymoron. The first image associated with a tattoo is a tough biker guy, not a Gucci boutique. But Frida Giannini and her design team execute the whole tattoo concept with so much finesse, you’d wonder how you survived so long without a pair of these in the first place.

If you’re still not convinced, check out Exhibit A: this tattoo-printed peep-toe slingback stiletto . From afar, it looks like any other pair of Gucci shoes, especially with the mild color and the double-G logos. Get closer, though, and it reveals its wilder side with the tattoo-style rose print.

More conservative fashionistas, however, might want to take the alternate route with the other trend that Gucci’s starting this season: tortoise. Just like with Gucci’s fascination for tattoos, the design is applied sparingly but to great effect. It’s a subtle touch that adds lots of drama to a single pair of shoes.

These off white stilettos , for example, would look like any other pair of office shoes in the store. Those 3 ½” tortoise shell heels, however, will make you look for objet d’arte than office worker. Gucci didn’t use much, but you know that every inch of those heels make a big impression.

Just in case your bank account’s of the recession-proof variety, you might want to pair your trendy new shoes with a matching tattoo-print or tortoise-finish bag from Gucci. Every fashionista knows that you’ve got to take a trend all the way to make a statement.

In the present world of fashion all of us want to go for celebrity stuff. Generally,

Celebrities go for branded things. But, it is not possible for common man or woman as these products are usually expensive. Branded things are actually designer items. Celebrities too have their favorite designers that design clothes, shoes, and other ornaments for them. Every one wants to behave and dress up like his favorite celebrity. People are trying to live like them. As celebrities are out of reach, so we only try to copy their lifestyles. 

Designer shoes are essential accessory for woman. Even female celebrities use lot of designer shoes to create their own style statement in this fashion world. Designer shoes like Burberry come with huge price, but are extremely impressive. Every woman cannot afford to buy them. This is why they are dreamt by every girl and woman. Their price is very high because they are original and cannot be copied.

Getting original branded products are extremely difficult these days as there is war going on between many designer and duplicate shoes. We have replica stuff in the fashion market as it is not possible for a common woman to buy original Burberry designer shoes. Also, they come with similar characteristics as original ones. But, Burberry shoes from the latest women’s shoes Spring/Summer 2009 like black beige shoes or black patent leather shoes can only be enjoyed with their originality. Replica just sells, but cannot be enjoyed for long. 

Thus, if you are looking for chic fashion choice, Burberry would make a best option to enjoy the ever changing trends of fashion. They proudly add more value to your outfits and speak of their authenticity and quality. I always go for original stuff, if you also want to embrace originality and unique style of branded items, go for stuff like Burberry that would never let you down. Rather it would help in creating a lasting impression on the onlookers. So, choice is yours whether go for original designer shoes or reasonable replica ones.

Who knew that the fashion industry could take a cue from the financial sector? In these economically troubled times, investments are either going down or becoming more conservative – and your shoes may soon follow suit.

Freakishly tall heels and towering stilettos have been dominating the runways for the past few years. And while that’s not exactly bad, coming up with taller and even thinner heels isn’t just unimaginative; it’s dangerous (to see why, watch the latest Hervé Léger show). Enter Prada, shoes with sensible heels and that unmistakable Italian chic.

“What goes up must come down,” the saying goes, and Italian fashion tastemaker Prada is heeding the adage. That’s probably why their newest shoe collections feature heels that are either thicker, lower or both. Gone are the towering needles, which were replaced by thicker and chunkier heels, such as in these peep-toe slingbacks .

Now, the popular view is that heels must be as tall and thin in order to be glamorous. This season, that kind of stereotype is exclusively for runway models again; Prada’s new and generously proportioned heels come with some new touches that don’t involve heights.

You don’t need to be tall to command attention, especially if you’re wearing something like these jeweled slides  from Prada’s new Resort collection. The 3” heels should be comfy enough to let you work these all summer long, while all the bling in front will make people forget that you’re not as tall as usual.

It’s not just Prada that’s losing the tall-and-thin image this season. Other big shoe brands like Gucci and Fendi have been churning out similarly thick-heeled styles and, in some cases, have even gone with the ultimate anti-heel statement – flats. Will this become the new vogue? Perhaps. But enjoy the more comfortable styles while they last.

It’s that time of the year again when wardrobes change from shiver-proof to sun-friendly. As you relegate your coats and cashmeres back into the closet, you may want to pick up some new things that you should be wearing for the rest of this season.

Bring on the Boho Beads

Spring 2009 presents a very refreshing change from last season. After all the structure that strutted in F/W 08, designers are literally loosening up for spring. What better way to represent loose and laid back then some beaded bohemian accessories?

Colorful, not-so-chunky-but-still-noticeable beads have been popping up at odd places for the season’s runway shows, and that’s likely a sign of things to come. This outfit from Marc Jacobs, for example, would have looked dull and drab were it not for the kick of color coming from the multiple necklaces at the model’s neck.

Big Boy Backpacks

Leave your messengers at home because backpacks aren’t just for kids anymore this season. With a whole slew of brand names coming up with their own too-cool-for-school designs, it shouldn’t be long before the trend begins invading your own office. Very grown-up and sophisticated choices have been seen from brands like Marc Jacobs. This cream Gucci drawstring backpack is another fine example (lunchbox not included).

Hole-y Kicks

Your shoes might just be getting a breath of fresh air – literally – with this new trend. After a whole seasons’ trudging about in closed wingtips, it’s about time you gave your feet some breathing space. Perforated (read: riddled with holes) shoes, which now come in a variety of styles, should do just the trick. Louis Vuitton has a couple of great-looking shoes for that garden party, while this Dries Van Noten pair should be perfect for a rave.

Never underestimate the power of accessories. They’re small items that could have a huge impact on your outfit. That’s a pretty big thing, especially if you’re the type who likes to mix and match.

Spring – as in the real season and not the fashion season – is fast approaching once again. It’s time to put those Wellingtons back into warm weather hibernation and put your best leather-clad foot forward. And for 2009, the best shoes to wear for that activity would be the shiniest ones you could get your hands on.

Patent or shiny shoes are by no means a revolutionary new trend. They’ve already made their rounds in the women’s shoes section a couple of years back, and have now crossed the sex boundary into the male domain. A long-time staple in the formalwear repertoire, the new in thing is to mix up high-shine shoes with more casual clothing pieces.

Of course, patent leather shoes are the quintessential gentleman’s accessories for formal evenings and black-tie events. Designs like this patent black Ferragamo laceup are classics in any collection of men’s shoes. But you can move beyond the realm of the black tie affair yet still remain on-trend.

When combined with less formal designs like loafers (this design from Armani is a classic example), patent leather could either modernize a formal look or jazz up a more casual one. In fact, any lace-less design – which is often seen as the more casual version of the leather shoe – gets an instant style upgrade from the added shine. And you can’t deny that patent really is eye-catching, no matter what you do.

Even more casual is the sneaker design that Lanvin popularized a couple of seasons back with their brightly colored patent high-cut shoes. Now every brand from Gucci to YSL has come up with its own version of this hot must-have item. It doesn’t stop at black either; colors from fire engine red to midnight blue have been seen down the runways. They’re great for adding life to even your plainest and oldest jeans-and-tee combo.

If you want to get on with this trend, you’d better get on with the program soon. People seem to be picking up on new fashion movements rather quickly nowadays, so your patent shoes could be more ‘has-been’ than ‘haute’ in just a couple of months.
