Get Noticed: Shoes for Spring Summer 2012




Among the highlights of Spring / Summer 2012 , the first and most unexpected, is a return of the "Mules" (picture n.19), and "Slides" (picture n.13) whose proposals are undoubtedly the most interesting those that appeared on the catwalks of Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton and Fendi. Less spectacular, but definitely welcome the arrival of pastel colors, romantic alternative to the sometimes rowdy contrasts of color blocking, the main trend of the last season (note: not yet completely overcome, see G. Zanotti picture n.15).
Among the models that will be more talked about are those of Roberto Cavalli, YSL and Alexander Wang (photo # 5, 10, 22).  Imprimés floral prints and ethnic embroideries, colors pop and transparencies, metallic colors, elaborate processes, heels by retro or futuristic absolutely, amazing designs and reinterpretations of the classics of the past, the 2012 shoes are united by a common denominator: get noticed .
