Italy : Hi-tech fabrics & skilful finishes in GEOX SS 08 collections

November 26, 2007

Warm summer breezes wake nature from her winter sleep. Colours grow brighter, glowing hues emerge and new shapes begin to appear on the horizon.

That’s the mood of the Geox SS 08 collections: continuity with seasons gone by but also a constant search for sources of inspiration to create shoes that recall those popular in the past, now reinvented in unique styles.

Colours are increasingly striking, with white, black and red patent leather, fruity pastel shades, cocoa and cream, or shimmering gold and silver.

There’s a greater choice of materials too: smooth and wrinkled calf, stressed leather, interwoven straw, cork and wood, bright reflective coloured stones and artful combinations of hi-tech fabrics and skilful finishes.

Geox Woman:
Sunny and seductive, oozing feminine charm but never ostentatious: that’s the woman inspiring Geox’s SS 08 collections.

Like a post-modern lady at the court of a great king, Geox woman always knows how to behave. She always has the right pair of shoes to demonstrate her taste to herself as well as to others by selecting the perfect match: a discriminating sense of style is married with the latest technology, and comfort with charisma.

Classic low-cut pumps, with high heels and very slightly pointed toes, come in a choice of black & white or white trim on black patent leather, a contrast with an Audrey Hepburn touch.

Or there’s the bon-ton version: round toes with ribbon bow and choice of heel, for an eternal classic in modern guise.

Cherry red for toujours trendy slingbacks, really low-cut with open back, sparkling with strass at ankle and toe: Simply chic.

Ultra-feminine sandals give a tantalising glimpse of beautiful feet. Oodles of models, shapes and shades share the need for freedom.

Chunky heels, ankle fastening, square toes, and colours from cornfields and coffee plantations result in a vaguely retro version.

Low heels, tapered outline, total black or gold, with a narrow front insert laden with glittering stones in shades of wisteria, ice and emerald: elegant by night or by day. Seventies wedges for these woven sandals that support and draw attention to the foot. Warm honey gold tones add to the carefree effect.
