The Prada Bi-Color Suede Ankle Strap Boots are Deceptive

— September 16, 2012 — Fashion
Cold weather can seriously hamper women's options for shoes, which is presumably why Prada came out with the Bi-Color Suede Ankle-Strap Boots.

These delightfully different boots give off the appearance that you're only wearing strappy black shoes, when actually you're sporting winter-ready footwear. They're suede knee-highs that come in a variety of different colors, so you can pick the pair that best suits your skin tone.

The boot gives the illusion that you are only wearing black heels. It's a slightly bizarre concept and definitely isn't a typical Prada design. However, they will keep you warm this winter.

Check them out if you're searching for high heel shoe options that are geared for winter weather.
Trend Themes
1. Camouflage Footwear - Creating footwear that blends seamlessly with the wearer's skin tone, giving the illusion of being shoeless, presents an opportunity for innovative design and fashion.
2. Disguise Fashion - Designing clothing and accessories that conceal their true purpose or identity, such as boots that appear as heels, opens up avenues for creative and disruptive fashion ideas.
3. Seasonal Adaptation - Developing versatile footwear that can transition easily from one season to another, like winter-ready boots that can masquerade as regular shoes, offers opportunities for practical and stylish innovations.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry can explore creative ways to blur the lines between different clothing and accessories, including footwear, to surprise and delight customers.
2. Footwear - The footwear industry can embrace the idea of deceptive designs, such as boots that appear as strappy heels but provide winter-ready functionality, to offer innovative options for customers.
3. Design - The design industry can explore the concept of disguising the true nature of products, like creating boots that give the illusion of being shoeless, to challenge traditional aesthetics and push boundaries.
