It was last season that the couture world shocked us – There were urban sneakers on the runways. Not only at one show but at two – Chanel and Dior. While the Chanel version was an immediate love affair for me and I was more than happy to spot a similar shape on the Chanel supermarket ready to wear runway for this fall – the Dior version was something I found highly ugly. Something like a swim shoe. End of June 5 versions of the Dior fusion sneakers were taken out of the couture atelier and officially launched at the Parisian temple of cool – Colette! As I had expected the couture street style was full of woman wearing the Dior fusion sneakers to the shows.
Style blogger Susie Bubble combined a pink white version of the Dior fusion sneakers with a leo coat from Dior’s pre fall collection – looking a little “exotic” but still appropriate and quite chic for a fashion event.
Alexia Niedzielski took the black and white Dior fusion sneakers and mixed them with a white long sleeve dress and a simple bag. If you consider it as an interpretation of the current “ugly footwear” trend – not bad.
Nasiba Adilova took the white and yellow Dior fusion sneakers to spice up a simple below the knee A-line dress. The result – quite stylish look.
However, my absolute favorite Angelica Cheung, editor in chief of Vogue China, combined her black and blue Dior fusion sneakers with a pair of simple slightly cropped black pants and a shiny blue boxy top. This combination of classic elegant and the extremely trendy shoe was the look that proofed for me that these shoes really have some potential I hadn’t seen at first!
What’s your opinion about the Dior fusion sneakers? Do you like them? Do you think they are going to become a big trend?
