House of Fraser, the leading premium department store, has
launched its Autumn/Winter 2010 footwear collection by Dune online.
The Dune Group offers affordable luxury shoes and accessories, with
brands including Dune, Pied a Terre and Bertie. The Dune Group was formed in March
2009 with the acquisition by Dune of the Shoe Studio Group and opened its first
store in London's Kings Road in 1993.
Autumn/Winter 2010 footwear concentrates on three main trends. From opulent velvet
peep toes to platform courts and pull-on ankle boots, online shoppers will find
Venetian Masquerade, Starlight Express and The Aviator trends all at
houseoffraser.co.uk.
The Venetian Masquerade trend is a romantic yet striking story with an air of
mystery surrounding it. An intense colour palette of ebony black, deep navy and rich
red appears on opulent velvet peep toes and delicate lace up strappy sandals for a
'belle of the ball' feel. Lace, jewels, corsages and caging are prominent features
in this theme. Black leather over the knee boots and suede peep toe shoe boots take
on a subtle yet seductive approach.
Starlight Express makes a statement with sky scraper heels and bold shapes. The
trend focuses heavily on chains, buckles, studs and zips in high shine metals appear
on fierce suede or leather shoe boots, platform courts and statement lace up knee
high boots. Flat laser-cut pumps have metal toe caps, carrying through the hardwear
theme. Black, nude, grey and taupe are the key colours for this trend, with flashes
of silver and pewter to highlight. Heel shapes take on a different dimension, soles
are sharpened, and the wedge is set to return for AW10 in a big way.
The Aviator is portrayed through a military inspired story with war time elements.
Boots are key to the trend, with tan, lace up shoe boots reminiscent of the 1940's
'working girl chic' look. Pull-on ankle boots are in greys and browns with crepe
soles and buckles, and flat boots are detailed with laces, thick straps, metal studs
and shearling collars and linings. Masculine styled two tone flat brogues and chunky
tan and burgundy courts in textured leathers recapture the 'Hitchcock Heroine' era
of this story.
House of Fraser offers fashionable platform shoes, sandals, shoes
and boots from Dune and other designer and high street brands, including Nine West, Kurt Geiger, Bertie and Carvela.
