Subtly Style-Meshed Shoes

These Cute Booties are a Mash-Up of Several Styles

— August 1, 2013 — Fashion
If you're looking for cute booties that are truly versatile, the Zenobia sandals would do the job -- they're basically like a collage of different fashion genres. Combining classic chic, retro, futuristic and even tribal into one perfect pair, shoe designer Eva Lai of i'alave kept innovation in mind.

The color-blocked toe front of the booties resemble a retro feel, as do the shoes' slightly platformed sole. The booties still keep the classic shape of a dainty stiletto ankle boot, but has a futuristic heel shaped like a lightning bolt. The heel is definitely one of the most eye-catching parts, because it's made of a clear plastic. Finally, the lace-up front is accentuated with tribal-printed ribbons. Not only is the shoe edgy and bold, but it's also dainty in the way it is embellished -- it would match literally any outfit.
Trend Themes
1. Versatile Booties - The trend of combining multiple fashion genres in one shoe opens up opportunities for creating versatile booties that can match any outfit.
2. Retro-futuristic Design - The innovative blend of retro and futuristic elements in shoe design presents opportunities for creating unique and eye-catching footwear.
3. Tribal-inspired Accents - The use of tribal-printed ribbons as accents on shoes provides avenues for incorporating cultural influences into fashionable footwear.
Industry Implications
1. Footwear - The footwear industry can explore the trend of creating versatile booties with a blend of different fashion genres.
2. Fashion Design - Fashion designers can tap into the retro-futuristic design trend to create innovative and visually appealing footwear.
3. Textile and Print - The textile and print industry can capitalize on the use of tribal-inspired accents in shoes, offering unique fabrications and designs.
