Her sneakers capture the romance of her couture pieces with a contemporary edge. Styled differently, the footwear is the next iteration of balletcore—a trend popularized by brands like Miu Miu. The trend democratizes an aesthetic that was previously guarded behind dance studio doors. Now disseminated, anyone can enjoy a satin pointe shoe or feel like a bona fide ballerina. Applying the trend to sneakers creates a cool crossover: ballet apparel is sportswear, after all.
