Summertime has never looked so stylish with Charles & Keith Signature Label Summer 2013 collection. The collection exudes an easy elegance of summertime chic with vibrant highlighter hues and a touch of show-stopping sophistication with shimmery oceanic blues. Interpret summer with classy, flawless iridescent hues and luxurious leathers or rich, summery colors and refined fabrics.
True to Charles & Keith’s fashion of innovation to the classics, the collection infuse summer with subtle, romantic sheens and heighten sensual pleasures with delicate reflective textures as heeled sandals, platform wedges and peep toe pumps shine in iridescent metallics, snakeskin, embossed leathers and gold. Footwear also come adorned in lace and sequins for an edgy allure.
Shoes are dressed up in suede, satin, calf patent and pony hair and splashed with bright yellows, fuchsias, reds, blues and leopard prints for an emphasis of summertime. So spin the color wheel and pick your new favorite shade from a cacophony of colors.
Taking cue from the magnificent and borderless cultures in Africa, weaving details on the classic strappy wedges in dark hues of brown, green and navy, with yellow highlights is a standout piece in the collection. Wood is interpreted in Summer with different pairings. A pointed toe with slender ankle straps paired with wood wedge and a strip of white highlights for a luxe adventure in the concrete jungle. Summer voyage love is also interpreted in wood with a collection of staple platform t-bar heels in nautical white and navy.
Colour-junkies can rejoice as platform peep toes with intricate ankle straps, and pop-coloured heels are ingeniously incorporated. Slingback sandals in a simpler, timeless colour palette of white and cream are also available with matching clutch bags for the lazy summer days.
Accessories spotlight casual evocations of Summer with an assortment of totes and clutches in nautical blues and whites, and embossed snakeskin prints for an escapade. In the extravagant spirit of the season, glow with acetate – the key material in Summer’s must-have sunnies and on bracelets. Complete the look with weaves and genuine leather belts for different wears.
