Leading Word: The long winter is slowly fading away, and with it, the anticipation for spring returns. As we step into the Spring and Summer 2011 fashion season, the world is getting a sneak peek at the latest trends. Just like walking in these shoes, every step brings a sense of power and confidence that starts from your feet.
Engraved Platform Shoes
Platform shoes, once a symbol of the 1990s, were known for their thick soles and bold designs. Though they enjoyed a brief moment of popularity, they eventually became associated with something less stylish. However, this trend made a strong comeback in the Spring and Summer 2011 collections, with thick-soled platform shoes taking center stage once again. Models walked confidently down the runway, showcasing how these chunky shoes can be both fashionable and functional. But don’t be fooled—while they offer a safe and polished look, they also demand a confident stride and well-proportioned legs to truly pull them off.




This season, Prada’s standout piece was its bold platform shoes. Whether it was lace-up oxfords or simple buckle sandals, all styles featured a thick, colorful foam sole—think hot orange, bright turquoise, and dazzling royal blue. These high-contrast colors immediately caught the eye, while the 7.8cm wide waterproof soles brought a fresh twist to the classic design. A woven jute band connected the colorful soles to the uppers, creating a striking visual effect. From the side, the exaggerated soles may seem out of place, but that's exactly what Miuccia Prada intended this season—emphasizing a bold Baroque aesthetic, filled with contrast, eccentricity, and drama.
Chanel, on the other hand, focused on elegant and refined platform shoes. Their designs featured a moderate heel height, with a split in the toe area that made the shoes more versatile and practical for everyday wear. The intricate weaving on the upper not only provided comfort and support but also added an elegant, traditional Asian touch. These shoes could easily transition from the runway to the streets, offering both style and functionality.
