Spring/Summer 2007 Footwear

Kotiks — Fri, 02 Feb 2007 16:31:54 +0000

100% talking about summer, but about spring I have to specify: Russian spring is little bit later than European or American. So, as we have 2 blog variants (Russian and English though) I had to write the name of the article different way – Spring or Late Russian Spring/Summer 2007. In any case, it’s time to think about footwear for SS 2007. Balerinas are very comfortable and also suits to many clothes: trousers, jeans, shorts, skirts and dresses. It’s not true when said that balerinas are not in top this season, they are! So, make a note in your Must have list for spring.

Surprising sites design, interesting goods, very nice brands name three things to be published by blogger immediately. I have found wonderful shoes called Otto et Moi. I want to hold them, to touch them and to present them to somebody. I want somebody presented them to me. By the way, one of the German women magazines has offered these shoes as a prize to its subscribers, good choice!

Fashion Marketing, Sale Techniques and other difficult words

Kotiks — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 21:33:09 +0000

I decided to publish serious articles on fashion time to time. Here the first ones.

Fashion Marketing
In a nutshell, fashion marketing is a profession that takes the latest trends and designs in clothing and communicates them to a target market in such a way that the consumer is not only aware of the product, but wants to and ultimately does buy the product. A target market is a sector of the consumer market to which a company wishes to sell (i.e. market) its clothing. To fully know what fashion marketing is, it is important to understand that marketing does not stop at ads in magazines or commercials on TV. The world of marketing is just as dynamic as the world of fashion. Marketing clothing includes elements such as determining which stores the apparel should be sold in, what price the clothing should be sold for�all the way to how the in-store displays should look. Fashion marketers often are as savvy about business as they are about fashion and popular culture.

Fashion and variation
Fashion in clothes has allowed wearers to express emotion or solidarity with other people for millennia. Modern Westerners have a wide choice available in the selection of their clothes. What a person chooses to wear can reflect their personality or likes. When people who have cultural status start to wear new or different clothes a fashion trend may start; people who like or respect them may start to wear clothes of a similar style.

Where the snow is?..

Kotiks — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 16:16:18 +0000

These boots are the best choice for walking on a snow, it’s a pity we still don’t have snow here in Europe. The name of this amusing footwear is Moonboots, for the first time were seen on American astronauts in 1969, during the Apollo 11 flight to the Moon. Of course, Moonboots were little different that time: the sole consisted of plastic, the top part too, but inside they have been warmed with special cotton wool. Those first Moonboots were created by Italian designer Giancarlo Zanatta.

Here the photo of one of Apollo astronauts, please take a look on his footwear:

It is actually illegal to wear Moonboots without written approval from NASA, – joking dailyorange.com.

For sale Moonboots were created in the early 1970’s by footwear manufacturer Tecnica, but this company is not the only one creating such a boots. From the last Winter Moonboots are on the top again, Dior, Pucci (images 3, 5), Ugg Boots created their own variants. The real Moonboots constructed with a thin rubber outsole and cellular rubber midsole. The boot is sized small, medium, large, etc. and has no left and no right.

Glory to gods, glory to boots!

Glory to boots that could awake me from non-fashion hibernations! I saw this design creation on site Stylebob.de and, of course, felt obliged to write a post and to share pictures with the readers. So, boots from Livs:

When I had published this post, I still could not calm down. Here some more graceful variants of Livs boots had been found on other sites. This scared me so much, but, apparently, I like some pairs of this magic knit-boots.

One more post about light colour bags and black footwear. That’s right! You can combine them. But I have to say – better don’t try to do something like this with white bag. If I found some good examples with white bag and black shoes that we can wear in Autumn, I will show you for sure. If you have such a picture, please send it me.

The jewellry found in e-shop Mexx.de. Interesting sets, isn�t it? Did you knew that I am going to get them, but not all – earrings I’ll buy but bracelets I’ll try to make myself.
