Spring Style: What’s New in Shoes!

Browsing and sipping bubbly in the shoe department Tuesday night, DC fashionistas joined The Glamazon Diaries’ Makeda Saggau-Sackey at Neiman Marcus for talk of the season’s trends — and a peek at Mak’s most crushable seasonal shoe picks.

After the Glamazon Bloggess shared what she’d love to be buying, guests also got a play-by-play preview of some of Neiman Marcus Fashion Director Ken Downing’s favorite shoe stylings, and how the footwear translates to clothing trends that have been “walking” the runway.  Here’s what’s in Ken’s collection:

  • orange (it’s the new nude!)
  • cool blue (THE color of the season)
  • lace
  • prints, prints, prints!
  • electric “high voltage” color
  • snake (python in particular)
  • relaxed chic
  • warm weather leather
  • gladiators (and gladiator inspired)
  • metallics

In addition to showcasing new styles, Neiman Marcus announced that they’ve just started carrying Jimmy Choo brand.  And, not to be outdone, Manolo Blahnik will now offer, exclusively at Neiman Marcus, the iconic BB in 22 colors in 5 different heel heights!
