Trend - New York Fashion Week A/W2013 SHOES

I've been intending to do this post for a long time now... SHOES! I've loved shoes for the longest time, and whenever I can choose between an awesome pair of shoes and a great jacket, I will go for the shoes 9 out of 10 times. For me, the choice of shoes are one of the easiest way to dress an outfit up or down. As a student, I usually wear a simple pair of jeans and knit top. However, if I feel that today is a special day, I will wear a pair of fancier shoes instead of a pair of sneakers, or wear a type of shoes to impress people. So it may not be a huge surprise that I want to talk about the shoes trends this season. 

there are six general forms of shoes presented for the Fall 2013 collection: heels, ankle booties, mid/lower-calves boots, knee-high boots, strappy heels, and alteration looks of traditional shoes (I'll explain in a bit). I've gathered photos from the runway shows and hopefully provided an easier view of this season's beautiful shoe collection! I had There are a few designs that are my ultimate favorites, but my favorite designer throughout the season would be Prabal Gurung. His designs and I looks chic and empowering, and I would do anything to get a pair (especially one of these boots!)

Now, let's start analyzing the season!

Ankle Bootie

A/W 2013 Ready-to-Wear: Ankle Bootie 

Lace-Up and Leather. These boots are generally ankle high, and some has platform, some doesn't. Platforms are slowly beginning to phase out and we may be able to see that in more pictures below.

Highlight New York Fashion Week 2013 Day 5, (02/11)

There are so many wonderful designers today that there is so little space for so many things. So I tried to only pick out 6 looks that best represent the designers collection's color, tone, style, and garment-shapes.

The designers we will be talking about today includes 3.1 Philip Lim, Alice + Olivia, Belstaf, Betsey Johnson, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Ohne Titel, Reem Acra, Theysken's Theory, and Thom Browne (The man who designed Michelle Obama's Inauguration 2013 look!) 

3.1 Phillip Lim: No need to point it out, but the collection is very urban based. The color tone of the collection gradate from bright paste pinkl, into a bit more monochromatic white and dark purple, and end with a couple of fun patched pants. The way he plays with the lapel of jackets and skirt is ingenious. It creates an edge with all of these stiff lapel protruding outwards. The highlight for this collection would be look 1 and look 3. I love how all of the colors goes together for look 1 and the way the lapel of the vest curves looks awesome for look 3. I love the patched jeans in look 5 an 6 as well, though I am not a huge fan of those furry purses.
