… No formalities. Only fashion!
Why do we pay so much attention to shoes? Sometimes we even sacrifice a dress to them. Perhaps Sigmund Freud once took the trouble to answer this question, saying that the shoe is a symbol of the female essence. And women are more than trying to take advantage of this essence. They like to stand on a pedestal of high heels. With this they inspire designers who willingly meet the wishes of the weaker half of humanity and make a stiletto heel from season to season. Only depending on the fashion, modifying and adjusting its profile, thickness and height.
For many women, shoes have become a real fetish that has turned into shoe addiction. Some Hollywood stars and top models have collections of up to 1000 pairs! Especially, they say, Yasmin Gauri and Claudia Schiffer succeeded in this noble cause. And what is surprising: they are not going to stop. The men were also affected by shoe fever. And although only a few of them (Elton John, Michael Jackson) can compete with collectors, the dry language of statistics claims that the average man already buys up to six pairs a year.
The preferences of the stars are well known - most often they choose Italian shoes. We, too. This fact is not unfounded. It is enough to run through Moscow boutiques and shops. And although our country is not in the forefront of imports from Italy - in sixth place in the world - in terms of money, we are in second place after Japan. According to the latest data from ANCI: in just five months of this year (from January to March), 2.470 million pairs, worth 113.15 million euros, went to Russia!
It should be added that many famous houses and fashion designers with a worldwide reputation place their orders for footwear in Italian shoe factories, since Italy has a long tradition of shoemaking and impeccable workmanship. Many shoe regions of Italy can rightfully be proud of the masters of "golden hands". These are Marche, Tuscany, Veneto, Lombardy, Campania, Puglia and Emilia Romagna.
As for fashion for the coming summer, according to forecasts of the grandiose exhibition of shoes MICAM Shoevent, which took place in Milan in September, a real carnival of colors awaits us. The floral decor was also supplemented with fruit, berry and vegetable - shoes with strawberries, a bag with carrots. The concept of a summer boot will become very relevant. By the irony of fate and fashion, sandals and flip-flops will go for a hot walk. And what's interesting: some models of boots with straps are also called sandals. Roman, of course. There is a lot of luxury and irony in summer shoes. The funniest paradox is plastic ballet flats with heels. Solid contrasts - shapes, heels, colors. In a word, a fabulous dream in reality!
