2009’s shoe fashion screams out loud: “Extreme!” but don’t be terrified you can always modify fashion so it suites you better, but still be perfectly trendy. This year in fact shoes are dreadfully high but on the other side more stunning than ever!

The cut-away trend is evident this spring/summer 2009 and of course we’ll find it in the shoe fashion. The two upper shoes on the photo are from the Giuseppe Zanotti collection, and they clearly demonstrate the existence.
This amazing cut-away technique is stunning, elegant and in the same way provocative. And most important it works absolutely well on high heels. It gives you the right modern and fresh look! Perfect as well at night to a mini dress as well to jeans or a casual style… The solid black Paciotti shoes are furthermore phenomenal!
The Stiletto is a classical, and of course this year it’s top fashion. But this year two things have changed, fist of all is the richness of particularities, from buckles to different patterns. Second are the fusion of stilettos and platform heels. Which evidently creates an even higher heel.
These pink Paciotti or these sky high Zanotti stilettos have all different exiting particularities!
The gladiator sandals are a truly Must-Have this spring and summer! Perfect for city days or casual night events… Miu Miu has made some truly cute gladiator sandals (see photo).

How to get the perfect romantic look this spring/summer 2009! First of all the most important thing in getting the soft, romantic and of course feminine look is to focus on the colours. In fact warm and creamy colours are the ones to choose. Try to avoid strong contrasts, the trick is to combine the same colour in different shapes.
For instant pink in different tones mixed with purple, (which is the most trendy colour this season) and blue. If you desire a more chic or stronger look mix up the creamy colours with one strong colour, but of course a colour you’ve already used. Like a luminous shoe or bag. These trendy purple Paciotti high healed sandals for instant. An other important thing not to underestimate are the details… Which make the wholeness!
The romantic look is simple but rich of details, with flounces and ribbons, mostly very sweet details. Obviously even floral prints are a great motif, for example roses or leafs. Like this exquisite Moschino Cheap and Chic floral printed dress. A perfect example of a romantic dress.
A must to get the sensual romantic look is the embroidery, which undoubtedly gives you that feminine look you desire. It could be a knitted cardigan or a blouse with embroideries on the chest. As the Moschino Cheap and Chic short cardigan on the photo. So simple but still so cute and irresistible. Perfect to light blue jeans and a similar coloured shoe.
Last but not least except the details important as well are the accessories. Sweet earrings, bracelets etc. It’s only for you to experiment now!
Dresses and blouses with enormous ribbons, ruffles and flounces are as already known top fashion this s/s. But to amplify the voluminous effect a must have this s/s is the handbag in the same theme.

Spring/summer 2009 is full of asymmetry. This year is not supposed to be structured but totally freaked out, in other words asymmetrical!
Try to stick it in as much as possible, there’s many ways to be irregular. Well of course there’s the one-shoulder trend, with the one -shoulder dresses, one-shoulder blouses and so on. That’s a great way to reach the result. A perfect example is this white sophisticated one-shoulder Versace dress. With one or perhaps two shoulders bare you get the right seductive look, especially at night. To emphasis the sensual look you should invest in one-shoulder cut out dresses, so even more parts of your body gets bare and gives you a strong feminine look!
Besides the one shoulder dresses there’s a lot of other ways to be uneven, for instant a huge detail on one part of the dress, a big ribbon on just one side of the body creates an unbalanced touch, perfect this spring. Like the amazing Moschino dress below. Since it’s all about asymmetry a long piece of sheer fabric waving from only one side of the shirt or dress is perfect as well and creates a very soft atmosphere!

For a more street look an other perfect way to be on top this S/S is to invest some t-shirts with different prints on the sides or one side stripped and the other not… It’s simply for you to explore! It’s definitely a funny fashion trend to enjoy this eagerly awaited summer!
Purple is still very trendy in fact this year it’s still top fashion. Designers this year have put together different shades of purple as lilac, violet, plum and lavender. But purple together with other strong colors is as well extremely trendy.
Yellow for instant which also is on the top this year! To continue with the strong colors which are definitely very trendy this spring and summer, all fluorescent colors are absolutely right. Like strong orange, florescent clear blue, yellow and green in different shades. On the international catwalk this S/S color was essential, solo as well as combined with other colours…
Brands in specific that this year have used expressive and strong colours are for example Moschino with its S/S collection cheap and chic, where red, light blue, clear and ocean blue are frequently used…

To continue Versace as well as Roberto Cavalli have this new collection used very much colour. Roberto Cavalli uses reddish tones from dark to almost pink and by combining it with a completely different color like mint green he manage to create a unique and very hot and summer remembering feeling.
It seems to be a must have, the bow bag is going to be an interesting item for lots of us next fall winter season. Bow bags are funny, strong of their peculiarity and practical intentions. Bow bags come from a simple idea: the transformation of a simple object, such as the bow, into an instrument of elegance and fashion. Evocative of ancestral childhood and pureness, it’s been re invented into a sophisticated, necessary feminine item.
Among the collections who bet on this new trend, Moschino Cheap&Chic and Valentino bow bags are shown below.
Valentino’s zipped bow bag is elegant: a nice little clutch whose bow shape is strongly emphasized. It doesn’t show any further detail; available in black and beige, perfect colours for an elegant occasion, thanks to its classic halo it can be useful on many occasions and easily combined with your clothing.

It is available in black, but also in plum colour, as to remind the revival of this colour over next fall winter season.
