# Luxury Footwear Sneak Peak First Look at Omelle Shoes By Elsa Blaine | Published 2008-09-13 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotly-anticipated-launches-preview-of-luxury-footwear-line-omelle References: [omelle](http://www.omelle.com/about) The fashion world is on pins and needles anticipating the launch of Omelle, a brand new line of luxury footwear. Designers Cherise Angelle and Nicole LaFave unveiled their line for Spring/Summer 2009, in Las Vegas at the [WSA](http://www.wsashow.com/); however, photos of the shoes are hard to come by. Omelle's virtual boutique has not yet flung open its doors, but there's finally been enough of a sneak peek to put together this preview of the avant-garde footwear collection. The reveal has all been very secretive, only adding to the drama of the brand's launch. Omelle's footwear line, which is targeted squarely at the luxury market, includes [graphic stilettos with metal cone heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oao-les-arcs), [gladiator sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megalaced-mule) and pointed-toe ballet flats. I can't wait to see the entire collection. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxury Footwear:** Omelle is a new line of luxury footwear that adds a modern twist to classic designs for the luxury market. - **Avant-garde Collection:** Omelle's avant-garde footwear collection reveals a new level of design thinking that can disrupt the luxury footwear industry. - **Exclusive Launch:** Omelle's exclusive and secretive launch builds consumer anticipation and increases demand for luxury footwear. ### Who This Affects Most - **Luxury Fashion:** Omelle is disrupting the luxury fashion industry and setting a new standard for avant-garde footwear designs. - **Online Retail:** With their upcoming virtual boutique launch, Omelle has the potential to disrupt the online luxury retail industry with a unique product offering. - **Fashion Events:** By unveiling their collection at fashion events like the WSA, Omelle is disrupting traditional fashion event marketing tactics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Refined Comfort-Focused Footwear Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-footwear1.md) - [Textured Floral Design Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-society.md) - [Performance-Driven Luxury Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loewe-x-on-1.md) - [Collaborative Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-margiela-x-christian-louboutin.md) - [Fabric-Focused Couture Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubirosa.md) - [Bold Sculptural Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spunge-osmosis.md) - [Modern Shoe Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sergio-rossi.md) - [Fashion-Forward Performance Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loewe-and-on.md) - [Dynamic Thigh-High Tech Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voo-store-1.md)
