Remember when the basic black peau de soie pump, or the high-heeled strappy gold sandal, carried you through every so­ cial occasion from weddings to New Year's Eve? That time is past. Glamorous collec1 tions of holiday shoes are proof of the trend toward dressing up and building a wardrobe of very special evening shoes. Camille Crifasi, buyer of contemporary dress shoes for JCPenney observes, "There's a whole group of consumers who have never bought evening shoes before. The fashion industry is making a real dis­ tinction between daytime and evening looks." What looks good for evening? Accord­ ing to Crifasi, "Glitter, fun. fantasy, with plenty of rhinestones, beads and ornamen­ tation. Women who buy beaded gowns and luxurious evening.sweaters are not willing to settle for simple, sedate styles." Just in time forme holidays, JCPenney will have two collections of designer shoes made with the fashionable contemporary woman in mind. Crifasi explains. "Designer shoes ap­ peal to the contemporary woman. Many working women want more than plain pumps. They're interested in textured ho­ siery. so why not snakeskin shoes?" The Mary McFadden collection of shoes and bags makes a fash ion-forward textural statement in styles that mix snake­ skin, kid leather and suede. The Halston III shoes designed exclu­ sively for JCPenney range from soft, sup­ ple kidskin pumps in winter white, to jewel-tone satins with beads and bows for sparkle plenty. In addition to a wide selection of fash­ ionable styles, a broader size range makes it possible to fit women who require nar­ row widths. Crifasi concludes/"The future of the evening shoe looks very bright for all year round -- not just the six weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year's!" Entertainment present... and future pSiV.
