They were Brigitte Bardot’s favorite shoes. She even popularized them before they become controversial. Today, all fashionistas are tearing them away!
It is no longer a secret for anyone: ballerinas are now an integral part of the wardrobe of all fashionistas. Whether you like them or not, there is nothing more to do. From now on, this pair of emblematic shoes from the 1950s will no longer leave us. In any case, this is what Brigitte Bardot, who helped popularize them, would surely have wanted to ask Repetto for her. She will take them later in the film And God created the woman (1956).
You will understand, the ballerinas are now timeless and they are constantly revisited and modernized. All the models are popular: varnish, suede, leather, print, with a bridle, two -tone, with nails … When you love ballerinas, you inevitably find your happiness.
This season, the ballerina is still renewing itself. This time with mesh! Indeed, if you are careful, you will notice that everyone only carries mesh ballerinas. Recently, they were at the foot of the old Miss France, Iris Mittenaere, who posted a photo of her new pair on her Instagram account: the Alaïa fishy ballerinas (€ 720).
However, they are very controversial. Not only are they ballerinas, but they are more open. A great “no” for those who still find that these flat shoes are a faux pas fashion, but also for those who do not like to show their feet.
For most fashionistas, it is a big “yes”. Perfect for letting your feet breathe, they add a touch of relaxed chic to any outfit. They can be worn with socks and a Bermuda, but also barefoot with a dress or a skirt.
Many brands offer models. The most classic? Mango’s “Ballerinas Mesh Loop” (€ 45.99), available in black, nude and red. They are closest to the Alaïa model. Monoprix, H&M, Asos, Steve Madden, Boohoo … have all their own models. And of course, Repetto! There is something for everyone.
