Candy-Coated Footwear

Casadei Studded-Heel Platform Pump Shows Off Deliciously Sweet Studs

— September 18, 2012 — Fashion
The Casadei Studded-Heel Platform Pump is like candied perfection. Covered in soft bubblegum suede with an almond toe, these heels look good enough to eat. Where the shoe really gets delicious is at the decorated heel. Covered in purple and pink studs that resemble little bits of rock candy, the heel is a delightful pop that stops the pump from being ordinary and makes it girly and fierce.

The sloping silver sole on the Casadei Studded-Heel Platform Pump promises to lengthen the appearance of legs and with a heel height of 5.5 inches, the shoes will definitely make your stems look longer and leaner. No need to stress over how you'll manage to hobble down the street in these high heels because the platform knocks off about an inch and helps produce a sturdy strut. Much like all of Casadei's shoes, this pump is made in Italy and proudly displays the name of the company on the pink leather insole.
Trend Themes
1. Food-inspired Fashion - The popularity of candy-coated footwear suggests an opportunity for fashion brands to explore food-inspired designs and collaborate with confectionery brands.
2. Playful Accessories - The use of colorful studs resembling rock candy presents an opportunity for accessory brands to create playful and whimsical designs that appeal to a younger demographic.
3. Leg-lengthening Styles - The emphasis on sloping silver soles and heels that elongate the legs creates an opportunity for shoe brands to develop designs that enhance the appearance of leg length.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry can leverage the trend of candy-coated footwear to create unique and eye-catching designs that appeal to fashion-forward consumers.
2. Confectionery - Confectionery brands have the potential to collaborate with fashion brands to create limited edition candy-themed accessories and shoes.
3. Footwear - The footwear industry can capitalize on the trend of leg-lengthening styles by designing shoes that provide both height and comfort for a confident stride.
