Most surprising – gucci shoes on the catwalk
It can’t be boring ballerinas.Discount gucci shoes Nor trainers, except for running. And it’s too early to bare feet in gladiator sandals. So what’s new? The answer is boys’ gucci shoes for girls, which have begun to infiltrate fashion from street-level. It’s something to do with the Eighties revival – echoes of young feminist lace-ups, style-tribe Doc Martens and brothel creepers – and partly, I’m convinced, the fact that teenagers who have spent their formative years in Uggs and ballet slippers can’t walk in heels.
They needed to invent a flat fashion update of their own, and now it’s breaking into view in the mass market and on the catwalk simultaneously. Last month, the edgiest – and most surprising – gucci shoes on the catwalk were the black lace-ups at Christopher Kane. They were the odd ones out among countless vertiginous heels. They had clearly been inspired by Kane’s sister Tammy, who has taken to wearing lace-ups or short riding boots with narrow trousers in rotation with her super-high heels and little dresses.
Shoe-shopping with my teenage daughters at the weekend, I was the only female within a half-mile radius wearing heels. In bestguccishoes.com,all the girls were in flat, fringed moccasin boots, scrunched-down pixie boots, prada gucci shoes Mary Janes and the inevitable assortment of scuffed ballerinas. The most stylish of the bunch had got into gucci shoes, which look to me like the perfect compromise between a man’s lace-up and a soft shoe. Urban Outfitters, Asos and Office gucci shoes are all backing various incarnations of gucci shoes – and you can tell they think they’re going to be big from the way they’re selling them on hangers, alongside ballerinas, whose bubble must surely burst soon
