I always look forward to Eley Kishimoto show at London Fashion Week, because the designer always serves up some of the most interesting shoes of the week. This collection was no exception, using lots of ruffles (in a metallic, neon fabric) for a bit of an 80s disco effect, The shoes were worn with either white tights or socks which came with diamond 'golf' patterns or other designs. Two more pictures after the jump...

London Fashion Week opened this weekend with Paul Costelloe's show on Sunday. Slightly surprisingly on the shoe front, Costelloe has presumably taken the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" train of thought, taking the current trend for ombre right through to next winter, with this patent platforms popping up again and again on his catwalk. Topshop currently have a few shoes in this shade in stock, but if they don't suit, you won't have to look far to find other ombre shoes in the stores right now. And if you decide to buy them right now, at least you know you'll still be wearing them next winter, if the Costelloe show is anything to go by!

The shoe boot survives to fight another winter! Or it does if these pictures from the Matthew Williamson show are anything to go buy, so don't throw out this winter's "shoots" just yet. These ones have a vintage-look brocade vamp, backed with a shiny patent leather heel, in blue or nude, all balanced on a spindly stiletto. Williamson paired these with everything from mini skirts and coats, to longer, floatier lengths, and narrow pants.

More New York Fashion Week Shoes | Get more Fashion Week coverage from Catwalk Queen
Patterned tights is a trend that's been starting to creep in for a few months now, but Anna Sui decided to take that trend and run with it at New York Fashion Week, using these very feminine, heart print tights as part of her show. It's definitely a look that can help breathe new life into old shoes - not that these shoes needed it, of course. With ornate buckles, bright blue leather and dramatic fringes, these were some of the most vibrant shoes we've seen so far this week, and the perfect compliment to the blues and reds used for the clothes.

These boots from the Jill Stuart show this week seem to be designed for fashion rather than function - I can't really imagine many scenarios whereby I'd want the warmth of a knee-high boot but be happy to leave the backs of my legs bare! Then again, I don't think those straps would be too flattering on calves like mine anyway, so I'd probably give these a miss whatever the weather! What do you think of them?

These shoes from Rodarte's New York Fashion Week Show give new meaning to the phrase "killer heels" - although I'm not sure whether they'd be most lethal to the person wearing them, or to anyone who happened to get in her way! With spikes and studs covering the straps, the look is very punk/bondage, and no doubt totally impractical for everyday life! I notice these also have Louboutin-esque red heels. Rodarte used similarly spiky shoes in their Spring/Summer collection, so they're presumably hoping the look will catch on!
