This is a preview of a lower end line of shoes called Fever. These shoes follow many of the trends we discuss in class and can even be viewed as rip off of some higher end brands we studied. In keeping with trend the shoes are highly embellished, metallic, peep-toe's, booties, have zippers, spikes, lace and buckles. The first shoe in particular could be viewed as new because the pump is very unique. It is open with the metallic fabric on the inside and the white sole reminds me a little of a sneaker. With this shoe being considered "new" we can see how it plays off of higher end designers who also do these type of things. Click on the link above to see the slide show.

Unfortunately for designers, creating a cheaper version of high end designers has become a trend in itself. Not so much as doing an exact replica, but asking the question, "What would Jimmy Choo do?" These shoes are trendy as well as inexpensive, and with today's economy, that's what matters. The look for less. I love that they're trying and I love that they're based in the US.
