Fashion, just like other arts, is drawing inspirations from the ancient times and cultures. This year, it's Africa who became a repository of ideas.
Similar motifs in fashion have come and gone for many seasons. This year they become even more noticeable. As a consequence, a trend for earth tones (brownish-reds, browns, greens, tans and greys) and natural fabrics, like leather, linen and wood, is still growing stronger.
Patterns inspired by African culture are also growing in popularity, especially spots, tiger stripes and snake-skin. They adorn shoes and accessories. Vivid colours and expressive patterns are landmarks of this trend and they are to be remembered for further seasons.
For those who haven't gone for holidays yet, we'd like to present few fascinating shoe propositions inspired by the Black continent. All attractive and at reduced, clearance prices.
