# Sculptural Platform Mules Cult Gaia's Ziggy Heel Boasts an Elegant Upper in Silk Satin By Jana Pijak | Published 2020-10-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ziggy-heel References: [cultgaia](https://cultgaia.com/products/ziggy-platform-black) Cult Gaia's Ziggy Heel is a sculptural statement shoe that makes a seamless transition from day to evening. Crafted from silk satin materials, the shoe stands on a 3" platform and a 5.75" heel, making a tall statement when worn. Made in Brazil, Cult Gaia's Ziggy Heel boasts sculptural front paneling details along with a chunky heel that provides height as well as support. Staying true to the retailer's artful aesthetic -- prevalent with best-sellers like its caged Ark bag and conceptual jewelry -- the shoes combines a clean silhouette with dramatic detailing. This sculptural heel is priced at $680 and is part of Cult Gaia's Fall 2020 collection, a range that combines powerful silhouettes with unexpected textures like beads, feathers and more. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Sculptural Statement Shoes:** Opportunity for innovative designs that combine clean silhouettes with dramatic detailing. - **Silk Satin Materials:** Potential for luxury fashion brands to experiment with unexpected textures like beads, feathers, and more. - **Seamless Day-to-evening Transition:** Demand for versatile footwear that can be worn for both casual and formal occasions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Exciting prospects for retailers to offer sculptural statement shoes as part of their collections. - **Luxury Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for luxury brands to explore the use of silk satin and unconventional textures in their designs. - **Footwear Design:** Innovative potential for designers to create footwear designs that seamlessly transition from day to evening. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Ultra-High Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platform-sneaker-1.md) - [Platform Statement Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8inch-flipflops.md) - [Unique Platform-Style Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals.md) - [Pool Slide Heeled Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipped-flop.md) - [Stunning Designer-Backed Shoe Revamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danielle-guizio1.md) - [3-in-1 Platform Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugg-goldenrise.md) - [Comfort-Forward High Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vida-collection.md) - [Illusory Doll-Like Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-boots.md) - [Stylish Platform Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bae-clog.md)
