The crepe sole trend!
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009This seasons’ new talk about must be the crepe sole!
It has increased in height and is more visible with its beige color! You see it on the lace-ups, wedges, ankle boots, knee highs and desert low boots! Every day people enter the store asking for these, some customers are curious and try them on, walk around and then leave the store without buying. Others are more brave, they have seen them in several fashion magazines and blogs and ask for them right away, try them on quickly, pay and leave the store as a brave trend follower!
B4You, Fiorucci, Rdm, Fornarina, Igualados and Wonders are some of the brands who have been inspired to use the crepe sole in their collections!
The footwear consisting of this sole is not only fashionable they are also more water resistent in the cases when the sole is a bit heigher. They will be perfect to wear now when you want to keep your feet dry from the rain and snow.
We remind you that our shoe-buyers, Sofie and Guendalina are moving to Madrid, where takes place the shoe-fair Modacalzado from the 24th to the 26th of September. They will update us with pictures, impressions and curiosities about the news of the new Spring/ Summer collection 2010. Stay tuned!
Hurry up! News about the Women Winter Collection 2009!
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009
Summer is coming! The city of Florence is round about 30°. In town center you can see almost all the turists eating great ice creams, wearing bermuda shorts and beach flip-flops. Though, if you take a look at the shops windows you can have an idea of what is going to be fashionable for the next season. And you feel warmer seeing a wool scarf or a pair of leather boots!!!! But this is the “fashion world”, it turns in reverse! Indeed, it’s right now that buyers have already choosen and bought their favourite products for the new season and the most important and famous designers are showing at Pitti Immagine their Winter collection 2009, and even some preview for the Spring/ Summer 2010.
Do you like to have some news about the winter trends? Unquestioning first in class is the fur coat, both real and imitated, but always matched with very fanciful wearing: retrò jackets, silk blouses with “balloon-sleeves”, studs, fringes and plaits are going up, plus fours and hip-huggers are still in fashion. But let’s talk about shoes! Obviously there will be the typical darkness colours of the winter, but this year the designers have scheduled the full-colours: blue, purple, green, red are matched with black and brown. In fact, everywhere you turn, you will see bi-coloured shoes, if not even three: pumps, over-knee boots, women lacing shoes (see the picture beside), they have all very high heels and plateaux that you’ve never seen before!
Still in fashion boots of all shapes. Over-knee boots trend is going on: they are over knee long, often with folds, super flats or with very high and large heels, but always very feminine. This is the year of the external plateau.“ Heart-shaped toes” are the best: nor rounded neither pointed! They’re just off! Vintage style, enriched with studs and chains, is taking success both in wearing, shoes and accessories. Patent is definitely out, and will be replaced with leather as suede and nabuk. Finally, what youth will wear everyday are going to be boots and low-boots with great rubber sole.
Coming soon on our e-shop romanofirenze you can find a preview of our women fall/winter collection 2009.
Don’t forget that yesterday (16th July 2009), the fair of Pitti Uomo 76 has begun here in Florence at Fortezza da Basso. We will up date you about news and curiosities on our blog.
High heels or no heels!
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009 
The fashion trends for this summer are certainly enough to make everyone happy! It seems that all kind of styles are “in”. If we say ethnic, bohemic, grecian, fringes, butterflies, romantic styles,graphic patterns, the 80′s look- all you think yes, yes yes and yes…these are all very fashionable styles this summer. And what about colours? It might be easier to mention one colour that isn’t fashionable this summer…
Also for the shoe section you can find many different styles and colours.
But what about the heels? Have you noticed that this summer you either go high heels or no heels? Anyway here in Florence,Italy, you can see this contrast very clearly.
Large heels, cone shaped heels, stiletto heels, wedges they are all high. Fortunatly the platform is a big thing this summer so even if the heels are high at least they are more comfortable.
Ballerinas, gladiator sandals, toe thong sandals in different styles but all very flat. This summer you can find very elegant flats with accessories like fringes, jewelery, patent leather etc. that gives them more importance so one could also wear them for dressed-up occasions.
And what about you, do you go high or low?
