Last week Steve Madden showed their SS12 collection at Sydney’s Establishment hotel, here’s a little sneak peak of what to expect for summer from the brand…. Wood finishes, aztec inspired prints and woven raffia details weave an artisan feel into the collection with a mix of neutrals and eye popping colour. The popular smoking slipper is amped up a notch with all over studded styles and heavy embellishments, while heels and ballet flats get tough with spikes and studs. Neon makes a statement with sky high wooden heels and simple flats for hot balmy nights. While cute ballet flats in leopard and Dalmation prints make a practical statement.
