Great Shoe Trends For Men From The Paris Shows.


Great Shoe Trends For Men From The Paris Shows.

 
 The Runways of Paris have been a great back -drop for some very bright and cool men shoes for Spring 2014. The top designers are all showing their strength on making men more daring at least in their foot wears.
 
The fashion for men throughout the world has gotten a bit more tolerant in dealing with diversity and self-expression. It common custom now to seeing men wearing something very different almost pieces that they would not dare wear years prior. It is almost welcome and encourage for any man to be different and to dress differently. The average man’s closet has gotten much bigger and very much different looking from eras before.

It is to be admired the celebration of fashion expression among men and women of the world. Junya Watanabe, Commes des garcons, John Galliano, Maison Martin Margiela all have made in their runway and collections some great shoes for men. I particularly love the bright yellows and the heavy soles of some of the men’s shows. They are for sure to elevate and bring some light into any simple outfit. The purpose of all of this is to make some conservative men still be extremely fashion forward with just a touch at their feet. It is always difficult taking people completely out their comfort zone, but with these shoes, it is almost certain on accomplishing this task.

Isabel Marant Spring 2014 Collection.







Isabel Marant is a French house of fashion founded 1994 by Isabel Marant. The company has 10 shops worldwide: Paris, New York. Tokyo, Hong Kong, Seoul, Los Angeles, Beijing, Madrid, Beirut and has retailer in more than 35 countries. Isabel Marant has recently agreed to design collections for high street giant. H&M line.
Isabel Marant has a strong celebrity following and her style is much to be admired. She is one of the designers that completely merged rock and roll with a true touch of femininity. Her style at time can remind you of  "Little house in the prairie" with a sexy twist and other time reminds you of a completely confident hard-core rock and roll chick.
The company popularity in the past few years has sky rocketed due to the recognition of her great work. I can see her design French house become a force to be dealt with. Her collaboration with the massive worldwide known H&M will only expend the brand popularity throughout the world.
Isabel herself is a very cool girl, pretty and tall, relax and understated at time; She is the brand behind it all and her direction is the proper one. MAXIME COSSOGUY DROWNING IN MY SLEEP
