# Decapitated Doll Shoes The Stride Bright, Stride Far Wedge is Made for Barbie Lovers By Meghan Young | Published 2014-06-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stride-bright-stride-far-wedge References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2014/06/29/Wedge-Shoes-Filled-with-Barbie-Heads/) & [modcloth](http://www.modcloth.com/shop/shoes-boots/stride-bright-stride-far-wedge) It was only a matter of time before Jeffrey Campbell, a fashion-forward footwear designer known for his imaginative and eccentric creations, designed something like the Stride Bright, Stride Far Wedge. Although it looks rather tame at first glance, the shoes boasts a high heel filled with the decapitated heads of Barbie dolls. Complemented with a pale pink suede upper, the Stride Bright, Stride Far Wedge is made for a feminine woman with a fierce edge. Not everyone is able to pull such a sweet and sassy look without coming off as completely crazy. Granted, it is currently out of stock on Modcloth, so perhaps that are more bold women out there than one would think. Aside from the heads, the Stride Bright, Stride Far Wedge is sleek and simple. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fashion-forward Footwear:** Opportunity for designers to create imaginative and eccentric shoe designs like the Stride Bright, Stride Far Wedge. - **Statement Accessories:** Growing demand for fashion accessories that convey a strong personal style and make a bold statement, such as shoes with decapitated doll heads. - **Feminine Edge:** Increasing popularity of designs that combine feminine elements with edgy details, offering women a sweet and sassy look. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for fashion designers to push boundaries and create unconventional shoe designs like the Stride Bright, Stride Far Wedge. - **Accessories:** Opportunity for accessory designers to cater to the demand for bold statement pieces, like shoes with decapitated doll heads, that appeal to fashion-forward individuals. - **Retail:** Innovative retailers can capitalize on the demand for feminine-edge fashion by offering unique shoe designs like the Stride Bright, Stride Far Wedge. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gothic Style Perforated Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stomp-clog.md) - [Spooky Back-to-School Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keds-x-monster-high.md) - [Romanticized Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mademe-x-dr-martens-1461-quad-shoe.md) - [Doll-Inspired Shoe Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-martens-x-bratz.md) - [Platform Statement Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8inch-flipflops.md) - [Iconic Doll Accessory Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-x-aldo-2024.md) - [Pool Slide Heeled Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipped-flop.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)
