Lockdown has been hard in so many ways, but just looking at Mach & Mach’s rhinestone bow–adorned slingbacks is enough to fill us with the optimism we need to see it through and begin imagining how excellent our new shoes will look under the light of a disco ball. Dare to dream. In a slew of pretty hues, including cake frosting–inspired pink and blue, rich emerald, and dazzling pewter, their appeal is undeniable. They’re the sort of shoes we can imagine Miss Piggy cosplaying as Cinderella would wear, which, if you were in any doubt, is a good thing. They’re fabulous, sassy, bold, and playful. They’re sartorial endorphins. They’re sublime enough to make fashion editors with minimal aesthetics swoon. And they’re proving a hit, even amidst our ongoing social hiatus.
