Every so often in fashion a piece comes along that instantly becomes a social media sensation. It fills our feeds, pops up in ads, you may even spot it sitting next to you on the train, but it’s best feature is its divisiveness–we just can’t help but talk about it, and since we spotted them on the feet of influencers everywhere, we haven’t stopped talking about Miu Miu’s ballet flat.
First released in 2016, Miu Miu’s anarchic ribbon flats kicked off a love affair with ballet pumps that hasn’t slowed down since, and while pretty, satin ballet pumps aren’t the first thing you expect from a brand that has built its reputation on subverting femininity, they’ve struck a chord with those of us who want a shoe thats cool and comfortable. But it isn’t the original lace up shoes that are having a moment, the Miu Miu ballet shoe has reinvented itself for a new crowd–stripped back and in understated satin, the ballet pump 2.0 is much closer to the classical inspiration, and has racked up an impressive list of stylish fans. (And you know when something comes with the approval of Camille Charriere, Emili Sindlev and Tamu McPherson, you’re onto a winner).
