Best ugly sandals for this summer The Kardashian-Jenner clan has already worn them all
There is something in the ugly that attracts us irrepressibly.
Especially when we talk about fashion.
"I think it's interesting to find the border where the ugly becomes beautiful, or the beautiful becomes ugly. Explaining his attraction to the not beautiful. It's a challenge that I like. It's something that fashion has to deal with and I like the people who define my clothes as ugly, it's a compliment." Demna Gvasalia
Thoughts shared by the staff of Vogue who wrote:
"There is nothing better than a nice dress with a bad shoe."
Yes, because it is precisely in the accessories sector that the practice of ugly is unleashed as if a "wrong" detail gave a more interesting, personal, distinctive and almost ironic twist to our outfit.
Waist bags, wraparound sunglasses, "cyclist" shorts are now a reality, but the shoe department is the favorite testing ground for this alternative aesthetic.
It all began in 1966, when the French-American designer Margot Fraser, during a trip to Germany, discovers the Birkenstocks (which already existed since 1774) and imports them to the United States, to San Francisco, where they find their fortune among the hippies.
A little at a time orthopedic sandals exceed the boundaries of the accessory symbol of the lack of style of tourists of half the world and arrive on the catwalk. From Marc Jacobs to Perry Ellis to Céline's "furkenstock" (aka the fur lined version) in 2012, which the New Yorker has compared to Oppenheim's gazelle cup ("witty, provocative and a little silly"), by Rick Owens to glitter models in collaboration with Opening Ceremony, have crept into the closets everywhere, including Hollywood stars.
Immediately after the Birkenstock, the Crocs mania arrived, driven to such an extent by Christopher Kane, the first to bring them on the catwalk in 2016, and by Balenciaga in the SS18 collection, the heeled version of the bulky slippers (the Crocs Cyprus V) recently finished sold out on the brands website and on Amazon.
