Some fierce shoes were shown by Ohne Titel at the Spring/Summer 2009 show at Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week as a collaboration with Italian footwear designer Cesare Paciotti.
Ohne Titel, Alexa Adams and Flora Gill at the New York Fashion Week S/S 2009 added sequins to sheer tights to make tattoo-like patterns. The combination of the Paciotti kicks and the sequin tights were unbeatable.
Implications - The recent resurgence of leggings make it a must-have clothing item; however, the majority of consumers look for fashions that make them appear trendy, yet reflect their individual styles. As a result, designers have begun to take risks with these popular clothing choices to reflect the drive towards individuality.
