# Heel-Flaunting Footwear The Patrick Cox Collection for GEOX S/S ‘13 Elaborately Accents Heel By Jen Chae | Published 2013-07-05 | Updated 2013-07-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patrick-cox References: [geox](http://www.geox.com/en/) & [geox](http://www.geox.com/en) Canadian-born British shoe designer Patrick Cox collaborates with [GEOX](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geox) to create a flashier-than-usual women’s collection. The line consists of blatantly accented heels suited for some fancy footwork. The Peonia is the wedged sandal that has a plaque-like metal adornment on both sides of its heel. The effect is definitely eye-catching—unusual and luminous. Other heels are embellished with round silver studs or are simply color blocked. Either way, the entire collection flaunts detailed designs. The collection emphasizes its impressive [balance between edge and comfort](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inez). The Ziggy is a [platform-heeled sneaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-70-wedge) with a metallic finish. The high-heeled sneaker is a recently booming trend and GEOX strives to let ladies live active lifestyles while making a fashion statement. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Flashy Heel Accents:** There is an opportunity for shoe designers to create footwear with elaborate and eye-catching heel accents. - **Embellished Heels:** The trend of embellishing heels with metal adornments or silver studs opens up an opportunity for designers to create unique and detailed designs. - **High-heeled Sneakers:** The rising trend of high-heeled sneakers presents an opportunity for footwear brands to offer stylish and comfortable options for active women. ### Where This Applies - **Shoe Design:** Shoe designers can leverage the trend of flashy heel accents and embellished heels to create innovative and attention-grabbing footwear designs. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore the trend of high-heeled sneakers to create fashion-forward and comfortable footwear options. - **Athleisure:** The athleisure industry can capitalize on the trend of high-heeled sneakers to offer stylish and versatile footwear options that cater to active lifestyles. ## 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) - [Beweled Fashion Forward Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simone-rocha-2.md) - [Comfort-Forward Heel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vicki-collection.md) - [Unique Platform-Style Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals.md) - [Comfortable Hybrid Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sneex.md) - [Dynamic Ultra-High Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platform-sneaker-1.md) - [Comfortable High-Heeled Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highheeled-sneaker.md) - [Modern Shoe Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sergio-rossi.md)
