Sandals usually reign in this season, but that wasn’t the case for Spring 2013. While they weren’t completely absent, designers seemed more focused on pumps and spring cutout versions of boots, which also lead to the resurgence of gladiator sandal boots – easily the most talked about footwear trend of the season. Extreme style aside, designers includingBurberry Prorsum, Balmain and Gucci were still in consensus about classic single soles. Platform heights were once again only raised for wedges, a category that continues strong. Also carrying on, yellow, last spring’s color du jour, has progressed into shoes as a must-have shade along with silver.
The revival of the gladiator shows it is, without a doubt, fit for a warrior. The new runway versions utilized intricate looped straps, panels, hardware and buckles. Versace, Alexander Wang and Altuzzara crafted styles that were just about knee-height while Rick Owens chose mid-calf. Gladiators discovered modern territory when paired with Proenza Schouler’s boxy oversized vests or tailored looks with a lingerie edge as Versace demonstrated.
