Beaded Booties

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Intricate Detailing On Shoes at the Virtual Shoe Museum

— May 9, 2009 — Fashion
There is something really cool about beaded footwear. Maybe it's because the beading is so delicate whileth shoes are the item in your wardrobe that get the most wear and tear.

I love this collection, chosen from the best in the beading section in the Virtual Shoe Museum and am particularly lusting after the so, so beautiful peacock beaded and feathered pair.

Implications - The incorporation of extremely intricate fashion and design products will be copied and cheaply made for fast fashion corporations and retail stores. While some of these products -- whether they are beaded footwear or feathered headgear -- are so highly coveted that they are in museums, consumers will look to their malls in order to find a similar, but cheaper, version.
Trend Themes
1. Beaded Footwear - As beaded footwear gains popularity, there is an opportunity for high-end designers to innovate and explore new techniques to create even more intricate designs that can't be easily replicated.
2. Fast Fashion Replicas - As intricate beaded shoes become more popular, there is an opportunity for companies to create fast fashion replicas that are cheaper but still provide a similar aesthetic appeal.
3. Museum-quality Products - As consumers seek out unique and highly coveted products, there is an opportunity for companies to create museum-quality products that are not only beautiful but also durable and timeless.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Design - The fashion design industry can leverage the popularity of beaded footwear to create innovative designs that incorporate new materials, techniques, and technologies.
2. Fast Fashion Retail - Fast fashion retailers can capitalize on the trend for beaded footwear by offering their own versions at affordable prices.
3. Museum Merchandising - Museums can expand their merchandising programs to include high-end beaded footwear and other intricate fashion and design products that are appealing to consumers seeking unique and highly coveted products.
