This capsule collection of high-fashion footwear includes stunning shoes made with denim. While the collection comprises six limited-edition designs, only four have been revealed so far. Each creative in the collaboration contributed their style for a denim-clad lineup gushing with eye-catching results. Fashion followers and Rihanna fans can rest assured that this collection is full of diversity as styles range from simple strap sandals to lace-up booties. A definite highlight from the collection is the '9 to 5 Boot,' which is so exclusive and lush only 45 were made. The Denim Dessert collection is expected to drop in Hong Kong, London and New York on May 5th, 2016. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celeb Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **High-fashion Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a sustainable and eco-friendly line of high-fashion footwear using innovative materials. - **Limited-edition Designs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with influential designers to create limited-edition collections that generate excitement and exclusivity. - **Diverse Styles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop customizable shoe designs that cater to a wide range of individual styles and preferences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate technology into fashion design, such as incorporating smart fabrics or 3D printing techniques. - **Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore sustainable and ethical manufacturing processes, incorporating eco-friendly materials into footwear production. - **Luxury Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embrace limited-edition collaborations and release exclusive collections to maintain high demand and create a sense of exclusivity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Jewel-Toned Singer-Collaborative Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avanti.md) - [Fabric-Focused Couture Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubirosa.md) - [Dramatic Textural Joint Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avanti-pony-hair.md) - [Chic Stiletto-Inspired Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biscuiteers-and-manolo-blahnik.md) - [Vegan Celebrity-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nicki-minaj-2.md) - [Festival-Ready Footwear Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo.md) - [Artistic Contemporary Footwear Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melissa-x-diesel.md) - [Rapper-Collab Juxtaposing Dynamic Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/something-for-thee-hotties.md) - [Romanticized Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mademe-x-dr-martens-1461-quad-shoe.md)
