# Woven Floral Heels This Buckled Heel from ASOS Draws Inspiration from 18th-Century Style By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-04-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buckled-heel References: [asos](http://www.asos.com/asos/asos-sundance-jacquard-heels/prd/7109210) These buckled heel shoes from ASOS boast a chunky block heel, cut-out details and a woven-in floral design that draws inspiration from a luxurious, elegant fabric that has been favored by the elite throughout history. As well as featuring an authentic woven floral jacquard upper, the ASOS SUNDANCE Jacquard Heels also feature a pin buckle fastening that reminds of the low-heeled footwear worn by the nobility of the French courts in 18th-century France. Intricate weaving techniques are still used to this day by some of the most renowned designers for making everything from high-end dresses to luxurious outerwear pieces, accessories that take inspiration from jacquard offer consumers an affordable way to add pattern and preciousness to their outfits in a way that is neither too ornate or overwhelming; these shoes from ASOS cost just £21. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Floral Jacquard Trend:** The use of jacquard inspired patterns on shoes and other accessories offers an affordable way to add a touch of luxury and elegance to outfits. - **Revival of 18th-century Style:** Designers are drawing inspiration from 18th-century fashion trends, creating a modern twist on the elegant and luxurious style of the French courts. - **Affordable High-end Accessories:** Accessories with premium materials and intricate patterns are becoming more accessible to a wider range of consumers, with products like ASOS's SUNDANCE jacquard heels costing just £21. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Designers and retailers in the fashion industry can produce and market accessories featuring jacquard inspired patterns to offer affordable luxury to a broader customer base. - **Footwear:** Footwear companies can incorporate intricate woven designs into their shoe collections to attract consumers who want to add a touch of luxury and elegance to their wardrobe. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Textile manufacturers can incorporate traditional jacquard weaving techniques into their production methods to meet the growing demand for premium materials and intricate patterns in the fashion industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Balletcore Heeled Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandy-liang-1.md) - [Unique Platform-Style Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals.md) - [Beweled Fashion Forward Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simone-rocha-2.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Holiday Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/julia-tassel-pump.md) - [Seasonally Appropriate Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petals-pearls.md) - [Technical Mary Jane Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gellokros-asics-mary-janes.md) - [Illusory Doll-Like Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-boots.md) - [Bohemian Accessory Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/call-it-spring-raffia-and-cork.md) - [Department Store-Exclusive Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cappa-blade-starsway.md)
