Dior fusion sneakers 2015 ?!

Once upon a time, to be precise one year ago, Couture drew heavy inspirations from street wear’s favourite item – the sneakers! There were lace trainers at Chanel looking pretty (just to bring the shoe back in mind click here) and embroidered swim shoes at Dior looking weird (if you want to see the shoe click here). A few month later Dior announced that the embroidered swim shoes will become available as a ready to wear item, which can be purchased in store. Plenty of people wore the shoes while attending the Couture presentations in July 2014 and when you were strolling along the streets in fashion capitals like Paris you started to see them occasionally on the feet of young fashionistas. That said for me it was crystal clear that the Dior Fusion sneakers are a short lived IT piece. However, fashion is made to surprise us and make us wonder – “Dior fusion sneakers 2015” is a topic to deal with.

Meanwhile Dior has 11 different models of the shoes. And in particular with the plain white and plain black styles embroidered with lamb skin flowers Dior seems to have moved from weird to “kawaii”, you know the Japanese expression for cuteness. During Couture week Dior fusion sneakers remained popular among showgoers.
