Bright and beautiful

By S.S. YOGA


Walk through life with pretty shoes.

EMBRACE life, whatever the circumstances – that’s the message behind Lewre’s latest spring/summer collection. It’s all about joie de vivre, embracing the exuberance and effervescence of the fast-paced, fun-filled cosmopolitan world.

Vision in blue: Looking dainty in blue crystal embellished evening heels

Get in touch with your femininity, indulge in your fantasies and savour your freedom. And while you’re at it, pamper your feet.

There are various themes within the collections to make a selection from.

The Boudoir, as the name suggests, takes its cue from lingerie looks so you can look forward to sexy stilettoes, edgy square-toe pumps and gorgeous ballerina flats. The colour palette runs through royal purple, orchid, steel blue, golden yellow and jet black.

If you have the looks and charm, flaunt it with a little help from the City set – slender strappy stilettos power pumps and demure little flats. They’re dramatic yet wearable, given that added dash of bright neon such as acid green, shocking red, highlighter yellow and fluorescent orange.

That girl from Ipanema may have been leading the charge for flat sandals for many a season but things are a changing. We’re talking about cheery Brazilian-inspired designs that’s so often associated with beachwear. Check out high platforms, gladiator flats and thong-style flats, accentuated with natural elements such as wooden heels and soles, rhinestones and leather straps. Sophisticated hues of auburn, raw umber, khaki, chocolate and solid black make up the collection.

Come Midnight as this theme is called, everything seems to turn blue – midnight, Columbia, dodger, azure and cornflower blue. All found in patent open-toe pumps, platforms, ankle-strap shoes and reinvented sandals.

For those who really want to indulge in high living, the Soiree set has something just for you. It’s based on all the attributes one imagines socialites to have – beguiling charm, refined sensuality, modesty, femininity and glam. So expect exaggerated embellishments like satin bows, rhinestones, Swarovski crystals and delicate straps. Shades of cerulean, lime, pink orange, pine green and venetian red glam up even the most conservative of outfits.

The collection is available at Lewré outlets and leading department stores.
