Goodbye ballet flats, this French shoe will be trending come September
Fashion has long been a special place in its heart for the world of dance. Consider the reign of the ballets – always turning the tracks of Ferragamo to JW Anderson in, of course, in Simone Rocha. The style was (and remains) the cornerstone of the computer wardrobe of the 2010s, as Alexa Chung and Kate Moss show. After a brief fall in grace (during the dark days of fila disruptors and other styles of the ankle breakage), the flat ballet is back in our cabinets: ballet sneakers, ballet moccasins, ballet heels, we all fired for ours for ours for ours Black swan moment. By quietly guiding the renewal flat (not so silent)? The brand of French girl Repetto, whose styles have been adopted by new generation fashion girls like Lily-Rose Depp.
But well before the ballets were associated with any type of core, Repetto had a more improbable mascot: Serge Gainsbourg. In the 1970s, the Frenchman swore by the brand’s zizi style, a sweet jazz shoe which was appointed for the dancer Zizi Jeanmaire, daughter-in-law of the founder of the Rose Repetto brand. Now derbies – in particular the slim and flexible type – is ready for a return. Jacquemus led the charge with his collaboration spring / summer 2024 with Repetto, while Lemaire quietly adopted the lace -style style in tandem. More recently, they appeared in Celine, where Michael Rider’s French capture on American Prep is quickly emerging as a new trend (see also: the beginnings of Jonathan Anderson).
