The Shoes from the Shows: D&G Spring/Summer 2011 shoes

FP 5775546 LIB DG MilanFW 092310 The Shoes from the Shows: D&G Spring/Summer 2011 shoes

I was lukewarm about Prada’s Spring 2011 collection yesterday, but I have no reservations whatsoever about D&Gs: it’s love!

With the exception of a couple of pairs of rubber boots, these shoes are all variations on the same theme: brightly coloured uppers, huge raffia platforms and giant corsages on the ankles. Some styles have open toes and some have closed, but they’re all still super-summery, and instantly memorable. I even like the rubber boots, although a cork sole on a rain boot seems like one of the least logical combinations ever.

Take a look at the gallery and don’t forget to let me know what you think!

D&G gold sequin peep toe stilettos

dg sequin peep toe pumps D&G gold sequin peep toe stilettos

As today is Non-Casual Friday, I thought I’d show you a pair of appropriately non-casual shoes. These ones from D&G certainly fit the bill, being encrusted with gold sequins which look like they’ll be constantly catching the light and looking even sparklier than they actually are.

The temptation would be to pair these with something equally dressy, but I actually really like the way the folks at My-Wardrobe have styled them: with a simple pair of jeans and a tailored jacket: a really easy way to work a non-casual element into even the most casual of Fridays.

D&G Dolce & Gabbana closed toe butterfly pumps

dg butterfly pumps D&G Dolce & Gabbana closed toe butterfly pumpsWhat was I just saying about butterfly-style shoes?

These are another example of that trend, although the butterfly effect is far more blatant here than in the shoes I showed you earlier today. These shoes take a bit of getting used to: the embellishments on the front are pretty extravagant, and take up a lot of air-space around your feet, which I know will put some people off. If you’re not one of those people, though, the shoes are $675 at Endless.com.

Reader Nominated Shoe: D&G – Patent bow-back court shoe

nude bow shoes Reader Nominated Shoe: D&G Patent bow back court shoeShoeperwoman reader Mousy actually sent me a link to these D&G shoes a while ago, but I’m only now getting around to posting them, which just goes to show how organised I am.

I can totally see why Mousy liked these, though: of course the nude uppers and the bow would naturally appeal to me, too, although I think I’d probably prefer a finish other than lace. Still, a great shoe for a special occasion: they have a kind of decadent feel to them which makes me think of lingerie for some reason. That’s probably just me.

If you love these too, they’re by D&G, and will cost you £350 from here.

D&G Dolce & Gabbana ‘Lucy’ t-strap shoes

gg t bars D&G Dolce & Gabbana Lucy t strap shoesT-bars are a seriously under-represented group in the Shoeperwoman shoe closet, mostly because my default outfit is a pair of skinny jeans (and a top of some kind, obviously), and for some reason the straps just never seem to sit right underneath them. Thes D&G t-bars aren’t doing a whole lot to change my mind, though, as although I love the fresh colours and brogue detailing, there’s something a bit “grannyish” about them, which stops me from loving them.

These have a very demure look about them, so I think you’d have to be careful about what you wore with them, as it would be easy to end up looking matronly or frumpy in them: I’d probably go for a pencil skirt or something else fairly fitted to offset the slightly “sensible” look.
