I just don’t know how I feel. Every so often there comes along a trend that simply embodies the spirit of the fashion zeitgeist. It may be a little kooky, something that stirs the conversation pot; some may like it while others vehemently express their distaste for it, but what remains true is that it’s something new, something edgy, and we love to see it.
Meet the “Monday Sneaker Pumps” by Balenciaga – child of the sultry pump and sporty sneaker.
Why the sudden buzz around sporty-chic? We think credit goes to the (obviously) fashion-forward cast of The Devil Wears Prada 2 – those folks have been serving look after look and we’re eating it up.
Emily Blunt was recently spotted on set, wearing a pinstripe corset suit, styled over a white button down, accessorized with Dior sunnies, an oversized boho-chic bag, and – the star of the evening – sneaker pumps from Brandon Blackwood.
Fall trend reports say we’re definitely expecting a move towards ‘smarter’ looking shoes. Think oxfords, hybrid sneakers, and more.
Balenciaga’s new drop is the kind you don’t quite love or hate—you just sit back, admire the creativity and rebellion, all while knowing it’s not making it into your own rotation. Props to anyone bold enough to pull it off.
