Bettye Muller, J Shoes Are Blockbusters
Designers Add Flair With Creative Color

These days, consumers are looking for optimum versatility, but still want fashion flair. One easy way to spice up a traditional pump is with modern art-inspired color blocking. Whether designers are mixing shades of the same hue or bright color with neutral tones, these high heels boast classic sophistication with flavor. Take a cue from Isaac Mizrahi, who keeps it simple with two distinct swaths of yellow and orange on this dress, but uses a trio of neutrals on the handbag.
