Lace Corset Stilettos

Boots Reign Supreme for Christian Dior Fall/Winter 2010 Shoes

— March 10, 2010 — Fashion
For the Christian Dior Fall/Winter 2010 shoes, ankle and over-the-knee boots were the only things marching down the runway. There was a distinctive Victorian and equestrian feel to many of the boots, the notable exception a pair of leather and knit ankle booties in brown and black.

Buckles and lace were also common adornments for the Dior Fall/Winter 2010 shoes. Another commonality was the uber slim heels on which all models teetered. It looks as if flats are going to have to wait for their return because the stiletto, even in boot form, is still all-powerful.
Trend Themes
1. Victorian-inspired Footwear - There is opportunity for footwear brands to create Victorian-inspired designs with added elements of modern fashion.
2. Slim Heels - The trend towards slim heels opens up opportunities for shoe brands to create stilettoes that are more comfortable for daily wear.
3. Buckles and Lace Details - Brands can capitalise on the prominence of buckles and lace in footwear by creatively implementing them in designs of different types of shoes, transcending the trend beyond victorian style boots.
Industry Implications
1. Footwear - The footwear industry can expand their product offerings to meet the demand for slim-heeled shoes with intricate designs that are versatile enough to be worn both formally and casuallly.
2. Fashion - The industry can experiment with victorian era fashion, and bring Victorian-inspired designs into mainstream fashion, not merely in shoes but also in clothing, jewelry, and accessories.
3. Retail - Retail can use the popularity of this trend and collaborate with footwear and jewelry brands to develop product lines that feature Victorian-inspired shoe designs with matching jewelry, to augment customer sales and position themselves as fashion leaders.
