# Strap-Happy Heels Christopher Kane and Jonathan Saunders' Strappy Shoes for Spring 2010 By Marissa Liu | Published 2009-09-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swirly-heels References: [obsessedwithshoes](http://obsessedwithshoes.com/post/Christopher-Kane-SpringSummer-2010-Shoes.aspx) Christopher Kane and [Jonathan Saunders](http://obsessedwithshoes.com/post/Johnathon-Saunders-SpringSummer-2010-shoes.aspx) showed strappy, swirly heels at their respective Spring 2010 shows in London. Both also worked with a pretty pastel palette that added to the whimsical nature of the shoes. Kane concentrated on creating swirly heels that were decidedly soft-serve ice-cream-esque. Saunders opted for mostly two-toned footwear with lots of strappy ankle detailing and snake-print leather. It looks like this spring strappy, swirly heels will have women running in circles! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Strappy Heels:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new materials and designs to create innovative and comfortable strappy heels. - **Pastel Palette:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop environmentally friendly and sustainable dyes and pigments for pastel-colored footwear. - **Whimsical Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce augmented reality technology to create interactive and playful elements in whimsical footwear designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate 3D printing technology to produce customizable and affordable strappy heel designs. - **Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement smart textile technologies to enhance the comfort and functionality of strappy heels. - **Textile:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop lightweight and flexible materials that provide both style and support in strappy heel construction. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Beweled Fashion Forward Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simone-rocha-2.md) - [Sleek T-Strap Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tkees-x-jcrew.md) - [Modern Shoe Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sergio-rossi.md) - [Balletcore Heeled Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandy-liang-1.md) - [Textured Floral Design Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-society.md) - [Seasonally Appropriate Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petals-pearls.md) - [Department Store-Exclusive Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cappa-blade-starsway.md) - [Unique Platform-Style Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals.md) - [Comfortable Spring-Forward Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clarks-offers-spring-comfort.md)
