With the GFC in full swing the statement shoe is making a serious comeback. Hailed for its ability to change up an old outfit for a fraction of the price of a new one, the statement shoe trend was recently evidenced at the incredible displays of the Spring RTW ‘09 shows with all leading designers producing pieces of art for our feet. There were giant satin clouds and fairy pom-poms for shoes (Givenchy, Chanel), beautiful Amazonian themed tribal wedges (Louis Vuitton, Dreis Van Noten, Marc Jacobs) and a large array of futuristic bondage style patent leather creations.

And for those who can't quite afford designer prices you will be pleased to know that Jimmy Choo have announced they will be producing a budget line of statement shoes for leading European chain store, H&M to be launched this November. These budget fashion icons are going to match the existing range of clothes in the H&M stores, helping to stretch our budgets even further. Be sure to mark the date on your e-bay calendar because these limited edition pieces are sure to sell out fast!
