Look who is back!
WSJ reported that Kitten Heels are our new trend.
History.
A miniature heel from 3.5 to 5 cm high appeared in the 50s of the last century. The world was thawing from the thundering war, the hardships of the post-war period were receding, and beauty, fashion and the desire to live beautifully came into their own. Men changed their overcoats for suits, and ladies enjoyed the freedom of lush flying skirts. Look needed to be complemented with elegant shoes, preferably such that you could wear to the office and for afterwork date.
Today.
Past Fashion Weeks showed that this summer kitten heel is again at the peak of popularity. This is not surprising. It is convenient and elegant. And besides, it's incredibly articulate :) Flying dresses and skirts, a strict office suit, relaxed jeans + shirt - almost everything fits with them.
For me personally, the reference kitten heels are by Roger Vivier . It was he who was the main shoe designer of the Christian Dior House in the 50s. His ornate shoes were called "Faberge shoes". He has collaborated with brands from YSL to Balenciaga. He shoed the stars of the first magnitude, but what's there - he had the honor to make a pair of shoes for the coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953. And its boutiques adorn the streets of the main fashion capitals.
