No chance to make a faux step with this shoe at the foot. Timeless, all Gainsbourg dubbed it. Fashionistas will soon follow their traces from this start of the school year.
The modosphere likes to blur the borders. She takes inspiration where we hardly expect her, prosperous where nobody hopes. It is often on the side of the sports locker room that fashion magic operates. Since the dawn of time, creators and modeurs have seized pieces that are usually confined to sporting practice to imagine clothes, styles and silhouettes that appeal to the most trendy spirits of fashion planet. Last year, the football jerseys, for example, made themselves more curved than usual, with frowning contours; The cramp sneakers, on the other hand, have extracted from the green lawns to tread the black bitumen of the inhabited metropolises.
An unavoidable dice is now the same past. Several hundreds of years old, it is first intended for hunting and Gentlemen sports before getting rid of its utility side to win the Modosphere. Yesterday confined to men, he gradually won their sisters and became an iconic of androgynous style.
At the start of the school year, he will be on all stylish feet. You just have to look at the Runways to have a clear heart: in its latest spring-summer 2026 parade, the Celine house has definitely left it for the forgotten where it had been thrown. The latter is reinventing itself in various and varied colors and punctuates more than half of the silhouettes (about 37 out of 72): masculine as feminine, chic as relaxed, Preppy as Parisian at will. This shoe born at the beginning of the 19th century is none other than the derby.
Our colleagues from Vogue UK and Gala also predict his return to the top. Over the years, many celebrities have made their favorite shoes. Among the best known: Mick Jagger, Serge Gainsbourg, his daughter or even Taylor Swift. But the one who worn them better than anyone is Charlotte Gainsbourg. On a red carpet as in the city, she sports them sometimes with a mini skirt, sometimes with jeans; Sometimes rising, sometimes low with socks that exceed.
Serge Gainsbourg, meanwhile, associated his iconic pair of Derbys “Zizi” signed Repetto with his essential Combo shirt-Jean.
This thunderous return is generally explained by the resurgence of the Preppy trend: the derby is indeed typical of this style formerly wooded by the students of the Ivy League.
@Databutmakeitfashion already observed an increase in popularity of 66% in July; The search engine Tagwalk Confirms that this is the most sought after theme last week (26%). So, ready to put them on at the start of the school year?
