Runway Recap: Milan Fall 2012 RTW Fave Shoes- Jil Sander, Uniqueness…

 

Jil Sander

 

 

Raf Simons’ swan song for Jil Sander was marked by calm elegance. While much of the collection nodded to the late 60s, the shoes were more of a futuristic reference. I, for one, wouldn’t mind this pair of pink-trimmed pumps being part of my future. **Image via Style.com 

 

Uniqueness

Alessandra Facchinetti took the term “ready to wear” literally in the Uniqueness Fall 2012 collection, so much so that it became available online the day of its Fashion Week presentation. Throughout the collection, it was clear that the 1920s were part of the designers mood board, and there was a whisper of art deco in the shoes. Suede pumps with metallic zig-zag T-straps, anyone? **Image via WWD 

 

Antonio Marras

 

Fifties chic, folkloric fabrics and bits of fur would seem to combat each other in a collection, but somehow they worked well in Antonio Marras’ ultra feminine showing for fall 2012. The shoes were ladylike, as well. Don’t these velvet color blocked, cap toe pumps look demure?

Runway Recap: Milan Fall 2012 RTW Fave Shoes- Just Cavalli, Blumarine

 

Day 3

Most designers seemed to play it safe on the third day of Milan Fashion week. I’m not saying the shoes were ugly… just not all that exciting. Well, with the exception of these two:

Just Cavalli

Roberto Cavalli let the good times roll with his Fall 2012 collection for the younger-skewed Just Cavalli line. From animal prints to metallics, with a bit PVC thrown in, the collection was a nod to retro pop and mod motifs. The shoes were pretty exciting, too. These sparkly ankle booties are quite shagadellic. **Image via ELLE.com

 

Blumarine

 

Blumarine’s Fall 2012 presentation was a sartorial light show, of sorts, with neon Mongolian furs, iridescent pieces, animal prints and glossy metallics. A bit much for many, but a visual pleasure for me (mostly). I could easily see myself in these silver heeled quasi hiking booties. Also on the wishlist? The iridescent biker boots. **Image via ELLE.com

Runway Recap: Milan, Fall 2012 RTW Fave Shoes of the Day- Prada, Fendi...

 

Day 2 of the Milan ready to wear shows were definitely more exciting on the footwear front. Here’s what caught my eye:

Blugirl

I’m a sucker for saddle shoes, especially when they have heels. Add bright, bubbly colors and I’m all in. Blugirl, these pastel cap toe oxfords are a win. **Photo by Piero Cristaldi via WWD

Fendi

 

Multi color is one thing, but multicolor AND multi-material is different level of awesome (when done properly). Fendi’s Fall 2012 booties mixed leather, pony hair and sometimes snakeskin to create a look that was at once serious and fun. **Image via ELLE

Runway Recap: Milan Fashion Week RTW Shoes of the Day- No. 21, John Richmond

 

Fashion VIPs have descended upon Milan to see the Italian interpretation of Fall 2012 fashion. Since this is known to many as the shoe capital of the world, I figure we’ll be riveted to the models’ feet. For the first day, only two designers grabbed my attention, though.

No. 21

Alessandro Dell’Acqua is said to have been inspired by Queen Elizabeth for his No. 21 Fall 2012 collection. While the clothes were a loose reflection of that inspiration, the shoes… well, not so much. Still, I’m a sucker for a metallic peep toe platform with an ankle strap. **Photo by Piero Cristaldi via WWD 

 

John Richmond

John Richmond said his Fall 2012 ready to wear collection had gothic and punk influences. However, suiting, dresses and gowns that read borderline bridal all seemed more buttoned up than emo-dark. The shoes weren’t very rebellious, either. A metallic platform gladiator-ish sandal with tasseled ankle ties seems more goddess than goth, no? **Photo by Piero Cristaldi via WWD
