Step out in high fashion with Carl Scarpa

This season, statement shoes are rocking the catwalks. More than ever, footwear is reflecting catwalk trends. Square toes, loafers, over the knee boots and fringing compliment runway trends like Dandy, Punk and Masculine Tailoring. Carl Scarpa, Ireland's premier footwear retailer brings these trends along with more practical looks for autumn 2009. Using Italian design and craftsmanship, Carl Scarpa offers distinctive style and quality with panache. For autumn, the look is fashion forward, yet accessible. Ankle boots are high fashion this season, not as your granny wore, but sleekly sculpted with dramatic heels. Over the knee boots are tight, worn with super skinny trousers. It's a bold look that adds edge and depth to winter outfits. Mary Janes return for winter with tapered heels that are sophisticated and elegant. Square toes with a short, blunt nose are a cool and high impact look. Loafers are androgynous and Carl Scarpa breathes new life into this fashion staple using jewel colours as well as classic black patent. Carl Scarpa pays tribute to its Italian origins showcasing a stylish and creative collection for autumn 09. Its design team pays tribute to its European heritage by creating unique, sophisticated, yet accessible footwear for their Irish customers. Whilst capturing the signature trends of each season, Carl Scarpa also showcases classic designs that Irish women have come to know and love - wedges, wave soles, stretch lycra boots.
