Fashion items I desperately wanted from the 2010-2015 fashion blogger era

1. Studded Bracelets

The Hermes Collier de Chien, Valentino Rockstud bracelet and the (Pre-Demna) Balenciaga Arena Studded Bracelet. These bracelets were in ALL of the fashion week street style close ups. They were and still are so incredibly chic. Bonus points if these bracelets were paired with a watch or a Clic H or both. THE ULTIMATE ARM PARTYYY.

2. Isabel Marant Bekett sneakers

THE it shoes. I swear this shoe birthed my love of heels. OMG, EVERY celebrity, every established (rich) fashion blogger had these. In my opinion they are still incredibly chic.

3. Huge handbags

I think Disney Channel and Nickelodeon were the reason I was exposed to this fashion trend. As a child I thought teenagers in Disney Channel movies holding huge handbags on their arm were the coolest people on the planet. I was in awe the day I saw my very own mum, carry her huge Celine Trapeze bag (which she still owns but refuses to allow me to touch). The Celine Luggage tote, Givenchy Antigona and Ghesquiere’s Balenciaga Motorcycle City bag were my dream bags.

4. Loubitins

Red bottoms. OH. EM GEE. The heels and trainers were popular in this era. Am In the only who remembers those pictures where couples and best friends would wear matching red bottoms? Loubitins of all types were trending in this era. Studded Loubitins, the Lady peep Loubitins, Neon coloured Loubitins. These were the height of fashion because the heels were so distinguishable from other heels because of the bold colour of the sole. I’m also pretty sure my heel-obsessed primary school headteacher had a few pairs in her office.

5. Gold button blazers

These were the sh*t. Business casual ruled the fashion world. Blazers were the height of chic. They were EVERYWHERE, including kids shows and movies. The Balmain gold button blazer was the height of fashion to me. I remember my ten-year-old self begging my mum to let me have one . These blazers had such a military sailor-esque vibe (which is what I was told when I wore my own gold button blazer to school).

6. Clutches

Everyone and their mum had a clutch at this time. I remember taking my mum’s to all my school disco’s. Clutches were a huge thing and some of them were so big that today they would be considered as laptop cases.

7. Faux fur jackets

Timeless fashion statement. Bonus points if it had cropped sleeves or was a faux fur vest. They are so unbelievably chic. I love wearing mine when I go anywhere: to the corner shop, on a walk, to the supermarket. It’s so fun to look so extra.

8. Tall boots

These looked so good paired with skinny jeans, dresses, and skirts. I was obsessed. I also had a fixation on Victoria’s Secret models and all of their off-duty looks look this this. They are so unbelievably cool omg. They instantly make an outfit look great. I’m pretty sure Tori Vega and Victoria’s Secret models started this obsession for me. I whole heartedly believed that to be an adult was to wear heeled boots.

why i can't wear ballet flats.

If you had told my 15-year-old self that ballet flats would return in the early 2020s, I don’t think I would have believed you. I adored the Valentino Tango pumps and had tried styling ballet flats with my school uniform on multiple occasions throughout my secondary school career (ah, the 2010s), unfortunately to no avail. In my mind, the ballet flat was too ill-fitting for me , and was an item that only my mum (or maybe Alexa Chung) could wear and actually look good in.

Skip to 2022, and as a shock twist (although is it really a shock?) the ballet flat is back. Or should I say the ballet pump? The 2022 revival of this classic item expands to formats outside of the flat slip-on that we’re all familiar with – heels, tabis, flatforms, and even sporty styles have hit the market and have skyrocketed the shoe back to its former status.

A very valid argument could be made that the ballet flat never really went out of style, that the ballet flat is simply a classic item that’s wearable regardless of the current it-style. I’m inclined to agree, but we can all see that the trend cycle was not particularly kind to this shoe over the past 5 years.

So why is the ballet shoe back? To no one’s surprise, TikTok currently dominates the trend cycle. Catalysed by the F/W 2022 Miu Miu collection, as well as other brands such as Simone Rocha and Molly Goddard, an updated version of hyperfeminine clothing aesthetics are at the forefront of the modern trend cycle.

I can’t say that I don’t love this trend. Personally, I’m a big fan of rounded toe shoes as opposed to the square and pointy styles that have been popular in recent years. Moreover, I believe that this reincarnation of the ballet shoe brings variations to the shoe that, at least in my mind, were sorely needed. As I mentioned briefly earlier in this post, I grew up seeing my mum reach for a classic ballet shoe (mostly in a patent black, or a funky leopard print) for easy casualwear, and whilst I also tried wearing this style myself, it never really stuck.

The return of the ballet shoe begged me to think – why did this not work for me?

The classic ballet flats, in my opinion, hold two major issues:

The silhouette that the ballet flat creates, whilst simple, can often feel unbalanced.

They’re deeply uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time.

I am a flatform shoe enjoyer, and so the minimal silhouette of the ballet shoe brings an unsettling lack of balance when used in tandem with the rest of my clothing. For some, the original silhouette works harmoniously with the rest of their look – think the ‘French Girl’ style, for example. For those of us with a clumsier disposition, or need more support in a shoe, the ballet flat may also seem impractical to wear on a daily basis. Thus, a classic ballet shoe just does not fit with the rest of my wardrobe or my lifestyle, and there is no purpose in investing in a trend that simply does not suit.

I don't think these feeling is uncommon. The resurfacing of the ballet shoe has not been without its scepticism.

Having said all of this, I still, like many others, enjoy the aesthetics and vibe of the ballet shoe, and this design revival brings the perfect opportunity to finish what my younger self started. As much as the styles put out by Miu Miu and Simone Rocha are something out of a dream, I’m a university student and at ~£600+ there’s simply no room in my life for that price point right now unless anyone wants to sponsor me ;) . I’ve tried similar silhouettes through the ‘A Warrior’s Heart’ style by KOI footwear, but found that the material simply did not withstand my constant lack of physical coordination and scuffed far too quickly.

Even amongst the heeled variety, Nodaleto and Carel’s mary janes still sit outside of my price bracket. It felt as if this revival, despite all its improvements and positives, still remained inaccessible to me. The lower price point provided styles that would not work aesthetically or practically in the long-term, and the higher price point would not work financially. Even second-hand sales proved too expensive. For a while, it felt as if I would have to sit this one out, despite evaluating that the right shoe would be able to remain in my closet rotation beyond its trend time.

Now, I want to make it clear that I will not be providing a list of potential buys. It’s important to me that I’m avoiding the endorsement of unnecessary purchase, and so instead of showing my ‘buy list’, I’ll be walking you through the process I undertook to complete my mission. As a 19-year-old in the process of transitioning from the wardrobe of my 'teenage self' to my 'young adult self', it’s important to me that I buy items that will fit in my wardrobe long term as opposed to trend items. For this very same reason, I’ll be avoiding fast fashion shops when selecting a shoe, as my aim is to find something more timeless that will last longer (plus, it’s better for the environment). I don’t buy shoes very often, so I’m more focused on investing in pieces that will last longer as much as I am able to afford to do so.

As the overcomplicater I am, I decided to formulate a 3 stage plan to find the perfect addition to my shoe collection.

the plan:

Step 1 – Trial

I’ve mentioned my mum prior in this article and how growing up I saw her wear ballet flats often. My first port of call was to message her and see if she has a pair she no longer uses. I wanted to affirm that the traditional version of the style was not right for me, and as opposed to buying it, it would be much better to borrow and try it out first.

I was in luck. (it’s a good thing we’re the same size)

Step 2 – Analysis

At the end of my trial, I decided to take a step back and analyse what aspects of the shoe worked, and what didn’t. I compared the flats I borrowed, to any shoes I previously owned that share similar characteristics, as well as my ideal styles to identify what I liked and what I didn’t. From there, I could formulate exactly what I’m looking for.

Step 3 – The Hunt.

Now, in all honesty, this step is what I want to focus on the least. I could give a list of my ‘top 50 ballet shoe variants’, but that’s contrary to what I actually want to do with this post. My intent here is not to provide product placement or outright promote overconsumption, but rather to offer commiseration and problem-solving to those of you who may be in the same boat as I am. To those of you who aren’t, I hope this provided a little entertainment at least.

For anyone who does want to know about the shoes I ended up choosing – I spent a lot of time scrolling through WConcept and eventually found a cute pair that fit the criteria (and my budget) well. I’ll be putting aside some money from Christmas and my next payday so that hopefully I’ll be able to buy in time for the new year.

If anyone wants an update once I've got them - let me know!

resolution:

As of the moment, I haven't managed to order the shoes. I'm pretty broke, so for now they'll stay at the top of my bookmarks list for another time. It's not entirely a negative thing though.

It's pretty cold in the UK right now, so I'm mostly sticking to warmer boots that I can layer thick socks under to keep warm - it's not like these shoes are going to help keep me warm. Waiting thus means that I'll get a cute new shoe just in time for the spring which, in my opinion, is perfect timing considering the style and aesthetic of the shoes anyway.

All in all, I'm not too bothered by waiting. It's not exactly as if I have a choice, and this process was an exercise in informed buying as much as it was a chance to find the perfect shoes.

In that case, this was a job well done.

FASHION WEEK GIMMICKS AND SAMI MIRO VINTAGE

POV: It is the morning of Sunday the 10th of September, the third day of fashion week. You've been checking Twitter to see recent fashion updates and shows. You're scrolling through the complaints and the praises of New York's latest collections, until you stumble across a video, not just a regular video of models strutting down the runway or celebrities in the front row.

No.

It's another… gimmick?

Video on @voguerunway on Instagram

One particular part of a recent show has come under fire and is being labelled as a "gimmick" and DEFINITELY not in a positive way, more like an insult or a slur. A stark contrast to the choir's of praise in awe of Coperni's Spring/Summer 2023 gimmick, in which paint that turned into a fabric dress was sprayed onto Bella Hadid .

youtube

I remember scrolling through the "high fashion twitter" (hf twitter) and seeing people praise the gimmick endlessly, claiming it would end the drought of creativity in the fashion industry and the lack of charisma on the runways. The praise and attention

I remember scrolling through the "high fashion twitter" (hf twitter) and seeing people praise the gimmick endlessly, claiming it would end the drought of creativity in the fashion industry and the lack of charisma on the runways.

The praise and attention of Coperni S/S 23 recieved was probably because fashion week viewers were reminded another designer's acclaimed gimmick, one that will forever be apart of legendary fashion history, Alexander McQueen S/S 1999, where a white dress, modelled by Shalom Harlow, was attacked by robots spraying paint.

youtube

The popularity of these two runway gimmicks made me think that the recent gimmick at NYFW was bound for success as fashion week viewers have been waiting for the resurgence of new, fresh ideas that will resurrect the industry's innovation, and turn it back into the creative space that it seemingly used to be before the rise of social media.

And now we've seen yet another gimmick, which I thought would garner more positive attention, due to this lack of personality and vibrance on the catwalk, but this one is being dismissed as "underwhelming", with hf twitter commenting that "they what to have a Coperni moment so bad."

Sami Miro Vintage is being crucified online for the gimmick that took place in the middle of the show, where the designer deconstructed jeans in the middle of the runway.

So what went wrong for Sami Miro ?

Upon analysing the comments on several posts concerning the Sami Miro Vintage Gimmick, it seems that most people don't hate the idea of a fashion gimmick during a show. However, it appears to be that the general belief is that if a designer or creative director includes a gimmick in their show it should exceed expectations or at least be good enough.

We should analyse the aim of the S/S 2024 Sami Miro Vintage collection titled "Zero Waste", which is pretty self-explanatory. The gimmick aligned with the collection's concept and with the designer's "signature deconstructed aesthetic" the gimmick was technically zero waste as no fabric was wasted in the process of cutting the jeans. The designer DID deconstruct the jeans as deconstruction in fashion is defined as "garments that generally look unfinished as if the designer is in the midst of working." This idea is generally true for the gimmick as the jeans ended up looking unfinished, maybe not in a nice way, but they were still deconstructed and still (technically) zero waste, both of which align with the brand.

BUT, was the gimmick NECCESSARY? What did it add to the show? What was the message behind it?

A brand that is committed to upcycling clothing and bringing materials back to life, therefore giving the materials a new purpose should have at least make the clothing somewhat… wearable. What could the jeans turned into a skirt/ shorts with a train be used for? Where could it be worn? I simply cannot picture where they would be used. I know that fashion can be VERY impractical, however, if the collection is titled "Zero Waste" I would imagine that all of the clothes are:

Sustainable and 2. USEABLE!!!

Looking at the video, from my perspective, it looks like an attempt to show how to upcycle without having to throw away fabric, However, "Zero Waste" isn't exactly zero waste if it can never be worn and if there is no use for it.

Because if there is no use or meaning behind the garment it is wasteful.

The previously mentioned Coperni gimmick was reflective of the brand's aims. Coperni is a brand that focuses on the figure of a woman, technology and experimental textiles. The collection S/S 23 was titled "Coperni Femme" which Vogue described as an "ode to a reconfigured paradigm of femininity", the aim of the gimmick was to envision a possible future in womenswear. The spray on dress fit well with the show and the brand's mission.

This recent gimmick was misunderstood by many because it didn't fit well with the show. There is simply no use for the deconstructed garment.

So… why did it happen?

@siobanhmi on twitter rejected the gimmick as "desperate" with the goal being "virality at the expense of an actual good show"

And this comment doesn't just apply to this show.

It applies to a lot of the fashion industry these days, who instead of aiming to build a reputation for creating good quality collections, reflect our modern culture's need for instant gratification and praise, seeking to generate press (good or bad) rather building up a loyal clientele.
