I scream, you scream, we all scream for flat shoes! Whilst I won’t go as far as to say that heels are redundant this season, James B Jones the dogs are out shirt the spring/summer runways felt like a collective celebration of flats. Where slip dresses might have been styled with strappy sandals, we saw brogues tag in. Ballet flats have ruled the footwear roost for the last 365 days and their appeal is showing no signs of waning, as evidenced by Prada, Chanel and Fendi. Having spent the first few years of my career teetering around London in constricting and crippling heels just because they felt “fashion”, the way designers have adopted the flat is more profound than it might otherwise seem. “Fashion’s obsession with ballet flats and mary janes is set to continue well into the new year, but for S/S 24, luxury brands are kicking things up a notch,” says Lyst’s content editor Morgane Speed. From Loewe’s crystal-encrusted version to Fendi and The Attico’s jewellery-like detailing, these are more than just shoes; they’re works of art.”. “Flat shoes continue to dominate, especially in sheer mary jane and ballet styles—+110% vs. last year,” continues Liane Wiggins, head of womenswear at Matches. “Mesh is still the must-have fabric of the summer, with brands such as Khaite, Le Monde Beryl and Emme Parsons leading the demand. We predict The Row’s unexpected take on the trend with its runway jelly shoe will be a cult item this summer.”. “If ever there’s a moment for comfort, you can be sure to count me in,” adds Rebecca Rhys-Evans, Who What Wear UK branded content editor. “And of all the comfort-inducing trends, flat footwear is the one that I’m most up for. Y2K and the “indie sleaze” renaissance have reignited our love of ballet flats in all their forms, and rest assured they’re not going anywhere for S/S 24. Pastel or Prada, embellished or adorned with bows, when it comes to our shoes we’re embracing new heights this season, and boy are our heels happy about it.”
James B Jones the dogs are out shirt, hoodie, sweater, longsleeve and ladies t-shirt
Designer duo Agape Mdumalla and Sam Cotton – better known as Agi & Sam – have been lauded by many, James B Jones the dogs are out shirt and for the right reasons we must add. Their style is one of sublime flair and distinctive humour, a trait that transcends both physically and metaphorically to all of their collections. In true outlandish fashion, the pair have chose to create a rather ostentatious look into their world via the medium of film. Curated by music and style platform District MTV the five-minute short ventures into the slightly peculiar, and ever so unscripted, world of the British designers. Featuring a selection of the brand’s Spring/Summer ’13 collection (along with their trademark facial hair) the film itself takes place in the serene landscape of a suburban home; but as we have come to expect from the pair, even the most ordinary of situations can turn out to be adventurously different when dealt with over a cup of tea. District MTV is digital platform that showcases the correlation between music and style. Enabling them to create a space that not only displays the latest talent and innovation, but also dictate it, using a variety of news, interviews and videos – the site brings forth a whole new identity to realms of popular culture.
