From function to fashion: how Crocs became the it shoe of 2020

source : www.standard.co.uk

Crocs’ faithful fans have never lost hope. Among the brand’s legion of disciples - the Crocerati - are a smattering of famous faces, most notably Rihanna, Ariana Grande, and even the Duchess of Cambridge back in 2007.  

Since their inception in 2002, the  plastic clogs responsible for inducing the Marmite effect – you either love them or loathe them – have enjoyed quite the journey. The company lost £167million in 2008 and in 2014, announced that it was having to close 100 stores amid falling sales.Fast forward just a few years to 2016 and Crocs had their reputation rehabilitated by none other than Christopher Kane, who incorporated the plastic shoes into his spring/summer 2017 show. “Crocs are arguably the most comfortable shoe,” Scottish-born Kane said at the time, “I love that they are slightly awkward and might be perceived by some as ugly. They have a very naive and childlike shape, which I especially like when they look extra clunky on the foot.”

Dinner for the win.

Let's keep the hues feminine and neutral this season with the light and dark pink injecting a bit of colour ....It has been a fabulous week, hope you all had fun here?

Designer deniers to rock these season

Chanel AW20, Fendi AW20 ( )

A look at this season’s catwalks would suggest this winter’s legwear is loco for the logo — with everyone from Gucci to Chanel adding luxe legwear to their ranges. In fact, fashion search platform Lyst reports searches for logo tights are up 61 per cent since September. But how much would you be prepared to spend on haute hosiery?

Gucci have a pair of tights embellished with sparkling crystals forming the historic GG motif which will set you back an impressive £750. While these would presumably sparkle through the darkest of locked-down days, one could buy the smaller size of Gucci’s GG Marmont quilted leather shoulder bag for the same price — a more functional purchase perhaps, with reduced laddering anxiety.

And yet the tights, first debuted in the spring/summer 2020 collection, are nearly sold out everywhere online in both nude and black. Personally, I would opt for the brand’s interlocking GG jacquard-knit tights for £170 instead — a pricey pair still, but a fashion-forward entry point to the brand for those that might not be able to stretch to a pair of its logo-stamped furry loafers.

Chanel debuted its first logo legwear at its autumn/ winter 2020 show in Paris back in March. Monogrammed with the brand’s iconic interlocking C’s, the £330 tights, which come in black and white iterations and were styled with leather pirate boots at the show, are, like all Chanel stock, only available to buy in a Chanel boutique. But this hasn’t stopped them from becoming a major hit with the fashion set.

Michelle Obama's 'VOTE' necklace causes sales to rocket

Michelle Obama made headlines yesterday for her Democratic National Convention speech, in which she claimed Donald Trump was the 'wrong president' for the United States.

And for one small jewellery designer in America, the former FLOTUS' appearance has triggered a surge in sales.

Cuthbert's VOTE necklace (BYCHARI) 

Using her sartorial choices to make a statement during her speech, Obama wore a bespoke necklace by Los Angelean jewellery brand BYCHARI, with the word VOTE on it.

The brand is the brainchild of Chari Cuthbert, who founded it in 2012, and specialises in bespoke pieces.

Speaking to CNN, Cuthbert explained that 12 hours after Obama's appearance on Monday night orders for the VOTE necklace, which retails for approximately £300, were already hovering near 2,000.
