Back in the day an elegant outfit and a pair of high heels went hand in hand. Thankfully those ideas are long gone and in today’s world, even a pair of sneakers can look elegant. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the footwear presentations at Milan Fashion Week where sneakers and flat shoes and boots sit alongside stiletto beauties - all given equal importance

HOGAN

HOGAN is a brand renowned for producing luxury sneakers that fit in perfectly with today’s favoured elegant but laid-back fashion styles. Their iconic shoes are often seen on the feet of various celebrities and street style personalities. The new styles for AW 17/18 are both bold and ironic, a contrast between bold and strong and gentle and feminine. The style is casual but chic and definitely ageless. Their renowned platform Maxi H222 sneakers are present along with a new mountain ankle boot for those cold winter days. An interesting new feature across the collection is that the logo is no longer present, the shoes are characterised by a tone-on-tone top stitching.

Jimmy Choo

For their AW 17/18 presentation, Jimmy Choo created different interior sets, representing different parts of a home, all filled with shoes and bags. There was a bookcase transformed into a shoe rack, a wardrobe, a bathroom with bags on the shelves - the effect was magical, the idea of a house filled with beautiful shoes and accessories. The key feature for this collection is definitely embellishment, many designs featured jewels, studs and all manner of designs. There were some beautiful mid length, boots with a hint of western design, some striking luxe hikers and 90’s block heels and a new, stunning high cut pump in reptile.
