These patent-leather booties are 4 inches of [multicolored silk patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunnei-x-camper-pelotissima-collection) and cut-out details which lace on to your feet via [beaded rope](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuart-weitzman-x-swarovski). These intricately beaded beauties were a collaborative design by Nicholas Kirkwood and Peter Pilotto for Spring Summer 2013 and are a perfect combustion of juxtaposing fashion crazes which are on point for the upcoming season. The most stylish thing you can do for yourself this spring is romp around in a shoe that can -- and will -- add style points to even your most casual outfit. Nicholas Kirkwood and Peter Pillotto ensure whoever wears these shoes will be executing a powerful, street-style-ready look. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Boundary-pushing Shoe Collaborations:** This shoe collaboration demonstrates the potential for designers to create innovative and eye-catching footwear by pushing the boundaries of traditional design. - **Multicolored Silk Patterns:** The use of multicolored silk patterns in footwear opens up opportunities for designers to create unique and visually striking shoes that appeal to fashion-forward consumers. - **Intricate Beaded Details:** The incorporation of intricate beaded details in shoe design presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for designers to add a touch of elegance and craftsmanship to their creations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** The fashion design industry can explore collaborations and incorporate innovative materials and details to create groundbreaking shoe collections. - **Footwear Manufacturing:** Footwear manufacturing companies can embrace the use of multicolored silk patterns and intricate beaded details to produce unique and high-end shoe designs. - **Street Style Fashion:** The street style fashion industry can benefit from incorporating boundary-pushing shoe collaborations to create powerful and fashionable looks that appeal to trendsetters. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bird Feather-Inspired Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-boots.md) - [Textured Floral Design Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-society.md) - [Modern Shoe Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sergio-rossi.md) - [Beweled Fashion Forward Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simone-rocha-2.md) - [Collaborative Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-margiela-x-christian-louboutin.md) - [Chromatic Textile Sneaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunnei-x-camper-pelotissima-collection.md) - [Unique Platform-Style Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals.md) - [Seasonally Appropriate Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petals-pearls.md) - [Randomness-Inspired Designer Footwear Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-in-chaos.md)
