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.
