Spring
2002 is season
of dramatic contrasts. Moulin Rouge black lace corsets contrast with Spaghetti
Western torn and frayed denim. Rhine stoned evening slippers are contrasted
with rubber flip-flops. Rough, hewn wooden platform bottoms contrast with
techno soles. And color choices combine the dark with the light, as evidenced
by the dramatic black & white and the Americana red/white/blue.
With
the exception of the increasingly popular athleisure shoes, virtually
the only silhouette this season worth mentioning is the sandal. Open toes
and
wedged slings are back with a vengeance and run the gamut from the 40's
draped-front slide, to an ankle wrapped gladiator. Sandals are adorned
and embellished with flowers, stitched center seams, filmy butterflies,
stripes and stars.
