# Platform Shoes as Flower Vases Scherer Gonzales Spring 2009 By Elsa Blaine | Published 2008-08-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platform-shoes-as-flower-vases-scherer-gonzales-spring-2009 References: [coutorture](http://www.coutorture.com/1798300) The Scherer Gonzalez label is again creating some buzz on the runways; ‘buzz’ that could actually tempt the bees! The bright lime green and coral colours are lovely for spring, but it’s the extreme flower encased shoes that are the real show stoppers. You'll be literally tip-toeing on the tulips with these numbers. The ultra-high heels have had the clear hollow space in the platform bases stuffed full of blossoms and petals. Additional fresh flower stems and leaves decorate the ankles and wrap up the models legs. I think the shoes would in fact be lovely for a wedding, if one is brave enough to be wearing shoes that high to begin with. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Floral Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion designers to incorporate flowers in innovative and unique ways. - **Functional Fashion:** Potential for merging fashion and functionality by transforming everyday items into wearable accessories. - **Eco-friendly Fashion:** Opportunity for sustainable fashion by using organic and biodegradable materials in shoe designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can explore new concepts and materials to create unique and attention-grabbing designs. - **Event Planning:** Opportunity for event planners to incorporate floral themes into weddings and other special occasions. - **Floristry:** Creates collaboration opportunities with fashion designers to incorporate flowers into their designs. ## 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) - [Platform Statement Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8inch-flipflops.md) - [Dynamic Ultra-High Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platform-sneaker-1.md) - [Beweled Fashion Forward Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simone-rocha-2.md) - [Practical Floral-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floral-sneakers1.md) - [Unique Platform-Style Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals.md) - [Comfort-Forward High Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vida-collection.md) - [Ultra-Luxurious Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-bridal-collection.md)
