# Beaded Sneakers Lucas Ossendrijver Channels the Crafting Vibe for Lanvin S/S '09 By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-03-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanvin-beaded-sneaker References: [deconstructedgarments](http://deconstructedgarments.com/2009/03/lanvin-sneakers.html#tpe-action-posted-6a00e552504e5e8834011168a30338970c) & [colette.fr](http://www.colette.fr/#/eshop/article/23243/lanvin/89/) The credit crunch has brought out the DIY tendencies in all of us. Even head designer Lucas Ossendrijver was bitten by the crafting bug with these beaded sneakers for [Lanvin's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanvin-en-bleu) Spring/Summer 2009 accessories collection. The [high-top leather trainers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sons-rogue-baseline-hi-top-tan) are accented with satin and pearls, and will set you back nearly $1,000. I love the texture that the pearls provide these Lanvin beaded sneakers, although they're not quite in my price range. **Implications** - If you were someone unaffected by the recent economic downturn and have a passion for footwear fashion, then these shoes are perfect for you. The intricate beading design won't come across as too flashy, ensuring that your peers won't suspect the high price of these shoes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Crafting-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to incorporate unique and handmade elements into their fashion creations. - **Luxury DIY:** Exclusivity and high price point can be achieved by incorporating intricate and expensive materials into do-it-yourself projects. - **Texture-enhanced Footwear:** Demand for footwear that incorporates unique textures and materials to stand out in the market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Designers can explore new techniques and materials to create innovative fashion pieces. - **Luxury Goods:** Market for high-end, exclusive products that cater to affluent consumers looking for unique and expensive items. - **Footwear:** Footwear brands can experiment with incorporating unconventional materials, textures, and design elements into their products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Athletic Shoe Adornments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lace-pearls.md) - [Crystal-Encrusted Stealthy Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-moonlight.md) - [Jewel-Informed Technical Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gt2160-sneaker-1.md) - [Pearl Bead Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pearlized-pack.md) - [Bold Suede Fashionable Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dries-van-noten-suede-sneaker.md) - [Dazzling Crystal-Covered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-x-swarovski-chuck-70-de-luxe-squared.md) - [Charm-Accented Technical Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentgablenits-1.md) - [Dandyism-Inspired Men's Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lv-buttersoft-sneaker.md) - [High-End Sneaker Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viv-on-the-run.md)
