are pleased to see that the humble ballet pump has recently been turned into a
A former
favourite with the Beatnik Generation, the ballet pump has become something of
a staple amongst commuters who then change into what many would call a more
uncomfortable heel during working hours.
Slimane has
recently directed two films which feature his entire range of 12 shoes. Both
films take the pump back to its roots in dance, featuring Gracie Van Gastel and
Lida Fox in various dance situations. The films show off how edgy and chic the
ballet pump can be.
This
designer has a great instinct for cool and his seal of approval is the perfect
endorsement for cute flats. Since 2008, where they peaked at 6.5 inches, the
intensity of high heels has been dropping with every passing season. More
modest heels like those featured in Whistles Nico Style have been enjoying the trend this season with a lift of
just 1.5 inches.
Nick
Kirkwood, who at one time pioneered the huge party heel has far more flats in
his spring collection this year and is gently phasing out the spindle-thin
stiletto. Christian Louboutin also claimed that “comfort was not his focus” but
recently featured a brogue/backpack combination in his latest collection.
While the
team here at Luxe Models love a good heel, we would wholly welcome some
fashionable flats to see us through a long day at the office!
