Sophia-Webster-Spring-2013

There’s been much ado about Sophia Webster ever since she debuted this Spring/Summer 2013 collection with the cutest presentation last September during London Fashion Week. Her designs are playful, whimsical and feminine with an exciting dash of Lisa Frank. 

Since then, several styles have become available online exclusively at Net-A-PorterChloë Moretz also donned a pair of polka-dot sandals on the red carpet.

She has an impressive résumé which included working as Nicholas Kirkwood’s design assistant. Kirkwood acted as Webster’s mentor as well, helping her launch this collection.

In a recent interview with Vogue UK Sophia said, “My shoes are for women who want to express their personality through their shoes and will appreciate and enjoy them.”

You can shop her shoes online at Net-A-Porter and Colette. Also, follow Sophia on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

Sophia-Webster-Yayoi-sandal-Cara

Cara Delevingne is featured in the Winter 2012 issue of i-D Magazine wearing Sophia Webster Yayoi sandals. These heels are from the Pre-Spring 2013 collection featuring bright pink, yellow & orange patent leather plus light grey suede. Yayoi is available online at Net-A-Porter.

This feature was shot by Angelo Pennetta on a visit to the London Zoo (she even poses with a tarantula perching on her face). Cara just won Model Of The Year at the BFA’s earlier this month and wears several colorful outfits by Erdem, Preen, House of Holland & more. She also wears Nicholas Kirkwood for Erdem Spring 2013 platforms.

Noticeable Spring/Summer 2013 shoe trends:

Iridescence

This reflective technique was the first trend I noticed. Designers have used it on both snakeskin and patent leather. It’s also seen in Dior and Pierre Hardy’s collections (not pictured).

Stella McCartney seems to be one step ahead & if you can’t wait until spring, she designed a faux-leather iridescent pump available at Bergdorf Goodman.

Mixed Media Madness
There are several obvious examples of this mixed media trend and I chose designs featuring 3 or more different materials. The styles below are colorful and show the designers’ playful side.

For me, the combination of different textures & colors is a hit-or-miss. Christian Louboutin uses mixed media wildly throughout his collection.

Embroidery

I love embroidered details, they give a fun, special touch. Barbara Bui and Balmain have several styles completely embroidered whereas Rupert Sanderson & Isa Tapia feature parts of the shoe embroidered with tropical birds.

Nectarine

Looking through Style.com’s Accessories Index I’ve spotted several orangey tones. Then I saw nectarine listed on the Pantone Spring 2013 Fashion Color Report which has also migrated to footwear. Nectarine has a warm coral touch and is also a skin flattering tone.

I closely watched the runways this September and reported on the shoes seen at the major fashion shows in New York, London, Milan & Paris. I love Style.com’s accessories index and they just recently published the spring bags, shoes & jewelry.

Each season I enjoy picking out my favorite designs and comparing it with the editor’s selections. There are usually 1 or 2 matches (see last season) however this season our choices were widely different.

I will be doing another post this week on my favorite shoes from all sources including look books (since not all designs & collections are posted on Style.com) and another post on shoe trends.

Do you see any must-haves? I really love – okay, all of them really, but could live in the Roberto Cavalli, Diane von Furstenberg & Gianvito Rossi sandal.

I know it’s not even Halloween yet, however, Resort & Cruise 2013 styles are already rolling in! I still plan on posting many more fall styles however I wanted to feature new designs that have caught my eye.

Notes:
One of the most talked about new shoe designers, Sophia Webster, has two new styles available online at Colette. More styles (these are actually Spring 2013) are also arriving at Net-A-Porter very soon.

I seem to always love Alexander Wang’s resort shoes more than any other season…I love the red-hot croc-embossed leather.

Brian Atwood’s new TriBeCa sandal is also available in blue at Nordstrom.

In case you haven’t heard, Jimmy Choo’s cruise collection is now available for pre-order on their website and a few shoes are also at Nordstrom
