The playful 5.5 inch heels are covered in soothing spring flowers. The base of the shoe is made from a crepe upper and carries a [hidden platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals) which takes an inch off the height, while subtle leather lines the inside and the soles of the platforms. The real beauty of the footwear is, of course, the [floral bedazzled heel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ohana-hatake). [Synthetic florets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cecilie-bahnsen-x-asics-gelterrain-mt) and little jewels stick on the heel like new blossoms. A light strap secures the statement pumps to your dainty feet. The Nicholas Kirkwood floral-print pumps are a collaboration shoe with Erdem. The designer incorporates the common aesthetics associated with the shoe company in girly and romantic way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Garden-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion designers to incorporate floral prints and natural elements in clothing and accessories. - **Fantastical Footwear:** Potential for shoe companies to create elaborate and imaginative designs for statement heels. - **Collaboration Couture:** Bridging fashion and art with designer collaborations to create unique and creative pieces. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Incorporating natural elements into fashion designs for a whimsical and feminine look. - **Footwear:** Developing imaginative and statement-making shoe designs to add a touch of playfulness to any outfit. - **Art:** Opportunities for artists to collaborate with fashion designers to create wearable art and push boundaries in the fashion industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Textured Floral Design Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-society.md) - [Seasonally Appropriate Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petals-pearls.md) - [Limited-Edition Crystal Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuart-weitzman-x-swarovski.md) - [Comfort-Forward High Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vida-collection.md) - [Practical Floral-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floral-sneakers1.md) - [Platform Statement Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8inch-flipflops.md) - [Ultra-Luxurious Crystal Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jimmy-choo-crystal-slipper.md) - [Celebrity-Inspired Cartoon Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katy-perry-1.md) - [Beweled Fashion Forward Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simone-rocha-2.md)
