Summer Ready Shoes: Kenzo's Colourful Striped Print Canvas Diego Sneakers

The fashion calendar is always ahead of everyone. Before you can say adios to summer (SS2013 end of season sales is coming!), the Pre-fall or Fall Winter 2013 advertising images are already surfacing online. Today I am going to feature Gucci’s latest Pre-fall 2013 ad campaign which is an ode to the brand’s DNA, Tom Ford era and beyond. Seductively moody, highlighting some of the very prominent trends surfacing in the coming winter months.

Brilliant pairing of a burgundy jacket and matching tartan trousers on the mens ad. Whoever thinks winter time is all greys and blacks will be disappointed. This rich deep crimson hue is going to make it big for FW2013. On the women's end, look out for laces, leopard prints, olive hues and most importantly black (which is a mainstay for Fall Winter), all of which are also going to be widely featured across major brands besides Gucci. As for Gucci’s spotlighted women’s bag for pre-fall 2013, the Gucci Bamboo tote takes the honour of seducing those 'hard-earned' dollars from your purses.

I love the new ads. Simple, straight to the point, setting up the moods for Fall while showcasing Gucci’s pre-fall 2013 collection's details in full splendor.

Kenzo Striped Print Canvas Diego Sneakers

Below: Loving Kenzo's Diego Sneakers in colourful stripe print... a good or even better alternative to those collaboration Vans:-P (Modelling pic from Instagram: @valentin_well_done)

Summer Ready Shoes: Kenzo's Colourful Striped Print Canvas Diego Sneakers

If you have missed out on Kenzo’s highly sought-after collaboration Vans Sneakers in ‘Clouded Leopard’ print... fret not. There is a good alternative to those colourful summer shoes. Check out Kenzo’s Striped Print Diego Sneakers which in my opinion, spot better quality and in an equally interesting and colourful pattern. I especially love the red and blue striped version, which in a way reminds me of animal stripes such as those on a tiger. They will match well with neutrals to add a pop of colour or for a more nautical look, choose the white and navy pair which is preppy casual. The rim of the rubber soles have grated textures and spots a coloured Kenzo (not Vans!) logo plaque in the rear. Love these details.

I want both pairs, since each costs only Euro 116.22! Summer time footwear sorted for me, what about you?:-)

Paul Smith Camouflage Sole City Brogues

Below: The best of 2 key Spring Summer 2013 trends... Paul Smith's Camouflage Sole City Brogues have both camouflage and metallics all in one design:-P

When Camouflage Meets Metallics: Paul Smith Camouflage Sole City Brogues

Metallics and camouflage are 2 key trends for Spring Summer 2013. The sleek polished metallic tones are not exactly the best companion to go with grungy camouflage prints. But Paul Smith took a chance and came up with a shoe that merges the two with quite desirable results. Clever as Paul Smith is, he incorporated the brand’s irreverent British charm, side by side with these 2 key themes onto a pair of classic brogues. But funk it up just enough with a thick rubber sole to make them both formal and street cool. The camouflage pattern sits nicely as a subtle but interesting detail on the soles while the metallic tones appeared naturally as a bronze brown tone on the leather. Brilliant execution. Get your pair at www.matchesfashion.com for £255 (or approx. SGDD480) which is quite well priced for a pair of full leather shoes from a renowned designer.

Wear with suit or jeans... hybrid style footwear transcends all occassions, making them highly versatile and worth every buck:-P

Below: Looks great with denim but will be equally good with suiting:-) Hybrid shoes such as these Paul Smith Camouflage Sole City Brogues are versatile for any occassion...
