Monday Trend Update

So I am starting this new thing on my blog called "Monday Trend Update" where I talk a bout one emerging trend(s) that I find interesting or "drekitude" (as Andre Leon Talley would put it) and give my comments and points of view.

*Note that these trends may not always be recent*

Hopefully this will help get more people reading, especially those going into fashion design and looking for ideas or simply the fashion savvy individual who likes being current with the times.

So without further ado, here's the first "Monday Trend Update."

Something that caught my eye the moment I saw it was these shoes featured in Jean Paul Gaultier's Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2010 collection:


When I first saw this I couldn't help but think of the movie The Devil Wears Prada (which is one of my favorite movies). Considering it feels similar to the shoe that is on the cover on the dvd.


I must say though it adds a whole new twist to a classic and is a great way to give it more attention. Will we see something similar going down the runway of other designers? I think not, its a Gaultier original and it certainly added to the feel and overall look of his collection. But who's to say.

Before I go I leave you with two looks from his collection to see how the shoe is a great piece to give his designs a head to toe finish.
