# Desolate Footwear Lookbooks The Miista AW11 Collection is Futuristic and Classic By Meghan Young | Published 2011-11-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miista-aw11 References: [lifelounge.au](http://www.lifelounge.com.au/fashion/news/miista-autumn_winter-201_12-collection.aspx) & [miista](http://miista.com/) Looking at the desolate landscape featured in the [Miista](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikoletta) AW11 lookbook, one may wonder just how those heels could serve as appropriate footwear. The rocky terrain and nature-filled backdrop really bring out the edgy qualities in each shoe design (although they are a far cry from practical). Created by London-based shoe designer Laura Villasenin, the Miista AW11 collection is filled with shoe staples inspired by Victorian lace-ups and chunky biker footwear. It is this futuristic classic dichotomy that will surely reel in the fashionistas. By striking a balance between the two, the Miista AW11 collection can fit into just about any wardrobe. These [statement-making shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025) appeal to both the masculine and feminine elements that are currently being satisfied in the fashion industry. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Futuristic Classic Dichotomy:** Designing products that strike a balance between retro and futuristic styles. - **Statement-making Shoes:** Creating shoes that serve as statement pieces in any outfit. - **Edgy Qualities in Apparel:** Developing garments with edgy or unconventional features. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Footwear:** Manufacturing footwear that appeals to both masculine and feminine tastes. - **Fashion Design:** Developing designs that combine traditional and futuristic elements. - **Fashion Photography:** Creating visually striking imagery that highlights unconventional design elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [80s Athletics-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikoletta.md) - [Randomness-Inspired Designer Footwear Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-in-chaos.md) - [Textured Floral Design Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-society.md) - [Modern Shoe Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sergio-rossi.md) - [Coastal Beach-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voile-blanche.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Sleek Western Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-wolfes-stark-boot.md) - [Festival-Ready Footwear Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo.md) - [Romanticized Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mademe-x-dr-martens-1461-quad-shoe.md)
