Pointy-Toed Shoes

1950s Fashion Revival

— September 3, 2007 — Fashion
Pointy-toed shoes are coming back into fashion, be they low-heeled, stilettos, or flats. The 1950s pointy heel is the hot look for shoes next season according to Matthew Hunt. The Ford Models 360 Hot Shots trend spotter gives a sample of some celebs who worked the look in his video on YouTube. More fashion trends can bee seen at FordModels.tv, complete with videos.

Implications - The comeback of the pointy shoe is yet another example of two popular movements in fashion: the resurgence of popular old styles and the continuing consumer pattern of "what's old is new again." Companies that capitalize on both of these continuing patterns can maximize profit by appealing to customer desires.
Trend Themes
1. Pointy-toed Shoe Revival - The revived popularity of pointy-toed shoes presents an opportunity for shoe companies to capitalize on the nostalgia trend and re-release or revamp old designs.
2. Retro Fashion Resurgence - The resurgence of 1950s-style fashion, as seen in the popularity of pointy-toed shoes, can inspire clothing companies to re-release or reinterpret old styles.
3. Consumer Desire for Vintage-inspired Products - The consumer pattern of 'what's old is new again' can encourage companies in various industries to revisit and reinterpret nostalgic designs or products to appeal to customer desires and maximize profit.
Industry Implications
1. Shoe Industry - Shoe companies can capitalize on the revived popularity of pointy-toed shoes and re-release or revamp old designs to appeal to customer desires.
