Footwear trends are all over the map for spring 2010 with extremes popping up at every turn on the catwalk—itty bitty kitten heels at Marni and Louis Vuitton, chunky platform flats at Calvin Klein and Bottega Veneta, playfully printed pumps at Versace, Miu Miu and Dries Van Noten, ultra high platforms at Versace, Fendi and Burberry, and of course the clogs at Chanel. Click the gallery below to see our picks for best of the mercurial bunch.
At the hands of Belgian fashion designer Dries Van Noten, mixed prints and layers of contrasting fabrics somehow make sense when paired with graphic jeweled cuffs and oversized neckpieces. Diane von Furstenberg took a more bohemian approach to the tribal trend for spring—with armfuls of bangles and printed maxi-dresses—while Frida Giannini and Nicolas Ghesquière fell hard for the urban warrior.
You don't have to be in school to sport the new harvest of backpacks. Play it cool this season in an array canvas, leather, and nylon options. Not only are they better for you back, they also inject instant fashion intellect.
