Men’s footwear to surprise in Spring 2005.

16/11/2004

New shoe designs for Spring 2005 have recently been presented at the Design-Hotel Side in Hamburg, Germany, by the Association of Italian Shoes Producers (A.N.C.I.), paying special attention to men’s shoes.

 

Men’s shoes for spring will require the wearer to have some courage. Half-boots, including half-boots made half of dark leather and half of black and white imitation fur, and colourful shoes, such as yellow pairs bearing black contrasts, were particularly visible during the show.

 

Ladies’ fashion will include floral designs and light pastel tones. Smokey, flickering and changeable colours are the new trend, with round forms ousting the spikes for good.

 

The retro theme continues into Spring 2005 with more and more designers looking back to the fashions of former decades for inspiration. The vintage style also goes hand in hand with the current textile fashion.
