Fall 2005

EILEEN SHIELDS is delighted to launch her third collection of footwear for Fall 2005, following up the phenomenal editorial and commercial response to her first two collections.

Concepts this season revolve around an “impeccably disheveled” look inspired by the movie 'The Luzhin Defense', where 1930’s society elegance meets avant wayward genius. Color inspiration comes in the form of the soft but rich tones of an old Life Magazine spread on Grace Kelly, offset by bold highlights reminiscent of the Japanese Geisha: soft colors of blush aqua and teal accented with lipstick red and shiny old gold.

Key materials this season, include: antique kid; real python; soft nappa and deerskin; saddle calf; haircalf in teal and red; red satin; and bleach croc.

The Maryjane, ankle boot, and knee-hi riding boot are the key silhouettes: the perfect pump with a heavy cone heel with soft elongated toe. And with her characteristic eclecticism, Shields brings together sporty welted men’s soles with skinny hi-heels on a sexy anatomic toe shape.

Shields is also producing startling new variations on her classic riding boots and ballerinas this season. The riding boot is available as the perfect flat boot and also comes on a sexy skinny hi-heel; while the ballerina wraps the foot with wide oversized leather and stretch ribbons.
