Atlanta Shoe Market - Fall 2010

This August trip to The Atlanta Shoe Market for FONTANA'S proved to be a top buying trip. There are plenty of fall 2010 shoes and handbags about which to get excited.  Boots are the biggest trend in women’s footwear this season.  Boots from over-the-knee style to a newer wedge boot were shown in all lines. Animal print, especially leopard print, is still big for fall. Thanks to top fashion designers, clogs are making a big comeback this season. Another big new trend in women’s footwear is the military boot look. For fall handbags, this season we look for leather satchels, ladylike bags, and the small cross-body bags.  Men’s shoes are always classics with only a little trend to them. Every man must have classic work shoes, but step up with a trendier shoe for nights out. All in all fall 2010 is expected to be a big season for more refined looks, as well as some new trends.

Women’s Shoes

Boots, buckles (and lots of them), lace up, stilettos, and wedges are all the top picks for fall 2010.  The top pop of color for fall is red and bright blue (especially in suede).  Boots and clogs must find their way into your wardrobe this season. Boots with military inspiration will be popular, but with a more feminine approach.  High heels and peep toes keep the boots from looking too strict. A recently added line,

BGBG Military Boot

BCBGeneration, has the top military boot this season. If the military boot is too fast for you, there are always the classic boots by Cole Haan. There are two great boots by Cole Haan in stock. The short harness boot, Air Valerie, and the knee high boot with buckles, the Avalon. Tall and buckles on boots is a must-have; both boots also provide the comfort of Nike Air. Thanks to top designer Chanel, clogs have made a comeback. Clunky wooden shoes don’t sound like the most glamorous or practical of footwear trends this season, but the clog has reached new heights in 2010. Michael Kors is another new line added at The Atlanta Shoe Market. The top designer has created a version of the clog. Give the Michael Kors clog a try this fall, because clogs are here to stay!   

Charles Jourdan Faith

 Charles Jourdan, one of the most recognizable names in the footwear industry, is now carried by FONTANA'S. Sleek, sexy, and stunning describes the Faith by Jourdan, a twist on the classic black heel. This shoe is the perfect shoe for fall 2010 for work or play. This unique design will make you the talk of the town. Be one of the first fashionistas to get this shoe for fall 2010. Whether you prefer the trendy fashion of the military boot or a classic Cole Haan style, make sure you have new fall shoes in your wardrobe.

Women’s Handbags

Cole Haan Pocket Group Hobo

This year’s designers are bringing back some classics. Look for classic leather bags, more lady-like bags, animal prints, military coloring, and cross-body bags. Neutral coloring is big this fall, once again back to classic coloring. Patent leather is big this year in handbags. We see it a lot in shoes, but now you must have a patent leather handbag. Multi-pockets and double-carry options are very big for fall 2010. The Cole Haan Pocket Group has many pockets and is two bags in one. Get the great classic leather bag with an outside pocket. Use the outside pocket to double as a small cross-body bag—two beautiful bags for the price of one.

Jessica Simpson Runway 

Go for the lady-like bag from Jessica Simpson. At a very inexpensive price but with beautiful detail, you can have the newest bag from the Jessica Simpson collection. The Runway Gathered Satchel is the perfect classic handbag for fall 2010. Big bags are still in style for this season, a staple for your fall wardrobe. The Steve Madden BWeave is a large bag with many inside pockets and great detailed weave. Make sure you get the updated version of this bag in military green.

Men’s Shoes

Classic shoes are making a big comeback this fall for men. Every man must own a pair of Cole Haan or Johnston & Murphy shoes. Both these designers offer the best in everyday work shoes. Whether the man wears a suit or a more casual look, both companies have a shoe for you. Bally also offers a fashion forward man shoes he must have in his closet.

Johnston & Murphy Corbett II

The cap toe will be the dress shoe making a big statement for men this fall. The Johnston & Murphy Corbett II is a necessary shoe to pair with your suit. A staple in every man’s closet is the Cole Haan Santa Barbara in black or saddle tan. The Johnston & Murphy Shuler Bicycle is the right casual look with your khaki pants. 

Steve Madden Virage

The Steve Madden Virage is the trendsetting style for a younger man for a day to night shoe. A black polished leather shoe with a bit/buckle ornament is perfect for work wear. The comfort and flexible sole makes the Virage wearable all night long. Chose from a classic to a trendier shoe from all these major, top selling designers.
