Trend: Welcome to the Flat World!

"I don't know who invented high heels, but all women should thank him." -Marilyn Monro-



Yes, high heels were one of the fashionable items for all women fashionistas and even Marilyn Monro agreed to it. It made women look taller, skinnier, sexier, and prettier. This "boom" of high heels, often called kill heels, continued its fame even until the last season in the fashion industry. Hollywood stars such as Paris Hilton, Kate Moss, Jessica Alba, and Angelina Jolie enjoyed wearing high heels, especially with their red carpet dresses. However, this season, it's taking a rest.

Higher! Higher! Higher! These were the endless shouts of women which showed their desire of high heels until the previous season in the fashion industry. This season, "Lower! Lower! Lower!" is the trend. Do you recall the period of Romanticism? It emphasized on arts, emotions, and love. Well, Romanticism has once again appeared in the fashion industry for shoes. The trend of lovely, adorable, elegant flat shoes have started. Why? It's spring! Spring makes people think of blooming pink flowers and these blooming pink flowers have reached the flat shoes. Brands like Marc Jacobs and Tods have showed collections of flat shoes including fringes (flats with twists and tassels).


Flat shoes literally means "flat", but there are "kitten heel shoes" for heel maniacs. Kitten heel shoes have two to three centimeter heels which give no pressure to the feet, but it can be a fashionable item for heel maniacs who want to try flat shoes. However, kitten heels can be a hard item to match your clothes because it is in between high heels and flats, which may be a little awkward for some people. Kitten heels with neutral color pants, chiffon dresses, and blouses would make the best feminine look for women fashionistas.

You can be a fashionista with elegant, adorable flat shoes instead of feet-killing high heels!
