Winters have given the sexy stilettos a break, the season is all about extremely stylized platforms and over exaggerated wedges. The embellishments have toned down and shoes that make a difference are in very basic colours of black, brown, beige, rosewood etc with lacy details. Your shoes are designed to keep you comfortable and warm this chilly winter. The colours that bring about a spark are rich red and pure gold. We move ahead chatting about the shoes and bags in vogue for FallWinter’09-10 with definitive look and trend direction.

The wedge heels by Dolce & Gabbana with face cutout on both the sides covering the entire heel and shoe in one piece of suede without any stitch details. The look is cleaner and basic which is very similar to the kind of wedges been picked for the ramp by Varun Bahl, though he used a lustrous finish of leather.

Platform heels are the sexy brigade this season, form the racks to the ramp platforms have made their appearance in all sorts of innovation. The very stunning shoe by Burberry has almond toe leather sandals with hand-braided cord strap detailing and wooden platform with crane-shaped rubber sole. The shoe story dictates less of hardware and more of fabric on fabric or leather on leather design. With this laces have also made a big comeback even in cocktail shoes. The platforms have fitted their niche in peep-toe sandals, pointed shoes, with block heels or curvaceous heels. The object of envy this season is the black Ferragamo platform with cutout details. One cannot ignore the golden platforms by Marc Jacobs.

Boots call for ultimate comfort this season with absolutely no heels and knee length. Say a stern no to the leather boots its only suede in black, blonde, brown and of course red.

For those who can relate to the urge of shopping, who are not guilty of buying another pair of similar shoes in a different colour just to go with a new dress. And would slip in their sandals to go out shopping at the very instance of depression rather than swallowing calorie rich chocolates, can read ahead to know what’s more in trend this Fall Winter.

Clutches are in neat perfect rectangular shapes and bags are sexily relaxed. Wendell Rodricks has colour blocked clutch boxes. Versace dictates clutch in lustrous crocodile leather finish with sharp edgy metal fixtures. Fendi gives a non-lustrous finish with star-trek closure in dull metal to its clutch. And Armani spells vintage look for clutches this season.

The tote bags are usually big with ample space to carry you along, and there is a cut throat completion between the leather bags with interweaving by Satya Paul and tote in houndstooth fabric by Alexander Mc Queen. The fur has been previewing itself in accessories for Fall Winter and bags have leather trimming and interlacing with geometric patterns gaining predominance.
 

The biker brigade could not close doors only to racer jackets, zippers and bling-bling, thus seeped in to your bags and clutches with studs and long steel chains. The Jimmy choo studded golden clutch pronounces ultimate style and luxury statement with powered look.
