Nine West Fall 09 Preview
With the Fashion World looking forward to Fall 09 already, it’s kind of odd that Nine West is all about looking back. But, in this case, odd works, as the moderately priced shoe brand brings back major trends from both the ’70s and ’90s with touches of modernity and a whole lot of fun!
Drawing from disco days of yore, Nine West featured a bevvy of platform sandals for fall in a variety of fabrics and textures. Lush navy suede stood out as one of the most popular fabric choices, giving the 70s styles a modern, nighttime worthy feel. Ever the popular fabric, suede came in shades other than navy, featured most memorably in a muted tan on a cute pair of studded platform clogs that looked like they came straight off the heels of a Flower-Power darling. Beyond suede, heels were high, and shine was higher, as platforms sandals with wooden heels and glitter-infused metallic uppers made their presence known. A stand-out pair featured elegant cut-out detailing that gave it more of a contemporary feel.

Also a throw-back to the 70s was the resurgence of the stacked heel boot, which Nine West unveiled in Disco Night worthy tan suede (with chain detailing). Drawing more from the 70s punk side of things was a Vivienne Westwood-esque, more punked-out version of the stacked heel boot adorned with studs and chains.
