The line features an abundance of color, from striking amethyst to fire engine-red to hot pinks, limes and teals. Kirkwood also took the liberty of exploring with different textures and embellishments, with designs featuring woven silk materials and [sparkly trimmings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simone-rocha-2). Many of the shoes had a curvaceous design, whether it be in the form of shapely straps or [curved heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vicki-collection).
