Footwear Trends this Summer
|
|
Not everybody gives to footwear the same degree of importance on the fashion scale. It is merely an accessory for some while a utility for others. So whereas a considerable fortune is often spent on clothes and adornments there are only a limited number of shoes and sandals in a person's possession. A brown pair and a black pair and maybe another fancy pair of sandals plus flip-flops. We are talking about women's footwear of course.
But however much you may harp on comfortable brogues, there is something beyond just being sensible. For femininity is something that women love to flaunt – whether it is in the arch of the eyebrow or in the toe peeping out of charming covered stilettos. Listed below are five footwear fashions that are creating waves this season.
High Boots - Knee high or thigh high boots in leather, suede, shearling, drap, lace or silk with round or tapering toes are being paired with short dresses, minis, skinny jeans, tights, or even long socks. Colours vary from olive green, maroons, brown, black, grey, and even gold. But be very sure that you have 'the' legs to go with it.

Whiffing Truth...
|
Who would not like a whiff of fragrance to freshen up the mind? The point is, like as we may, not many of us would be able to afford it. Natural fragrances notwithstanding, the most favourite perfumes are also very expensive. But for a fortunate few, not many of us invest in perfumes frequently; normally a day fragrance and a night scent should suffice a regular dressing table. Therefore it would be interesting to know a few things about this preferred fashion accessory so that you are not completely at a loss when you approach a counter.

The Lakme Fashion Week is one of the most coveted fashion platforms for aspiring designers in our Country. Not only has it always been the hallowed portal graced by established Gurus of Indian haute couture but it has served as a launch pad for many a talent from the day it began. This year, for the recently held Summer/Resort 2010, a total of 159 designers have applied to participate of which 95 were for the GenNext category while 64 were in the category Emerging Designer.
From the list of applicants, The Advisory Board shortlisted 14 designers in all - eight in the GenNext category and seven in the Emerging designers category on the basis of a number of pertinent style and fashion parameters. We take a look at the emerging designers in this article; these are the ones who are most likely to rule the ramp in a very short while from now.
