Perhaps, not many people know that Charles Perrault's shoes, in which Cinderella went to the ball, were not crystal, but fur. Of course! What else can the legs of such a hard worker rest in, so that it looks not just beautiful, but also royally refined?
The desire to wear shoes made of fur or trimmed with fur has always existed. But in recent years, the trend for fur slippers has been experiencing an unprecedented rise. Back in October 2012, Phoebe Philo released fur shoes on the catwalk in the collection for Celine. The fur on her sliders was multicolored: black, blue, white, yellow, red, purple and decorated both the edges of the soles and the top of the sandals similar to "birkenstocks". Critics liked the shoes, Vogue generally called them a key part of the show. However, mass insanity did not happen then.
In 2015, Alessandro Michele presented fur-trimmed loafers in his first collection for Gucci. Unlike the creation of Philo, these fur shoes became popular with stars from Alexa Chung to Kris Jenner — the mass market did not keep itself waiting with copies.
In the spring of 2016, the trend began to gain momentum. Fur shoes appeared in the autumn-winter collections of brands such as Sonya Rykiel and Miu Miu. If the former decorated ordinary sandals with lush black pom-poms, the latter released a whole medley of bright colorful fluffy flip-flops embroidered with huge pearls. The cherry on the cake was the Rihanna collection for Puma, which was released in April of the same year 2016. Sliders with faux fur trim, similar to the classic model without fur from the permanent Puma line, have become an object of desire. The hype around them can be compared to what flared up around Yeezy sneakers. The first drop of the collection was sold out on the brand's website in 30 minutes. The star friends of the pop icon added fuel to the fire - flip—flops appeared in the wardrobe of Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Sofia Richie and even The Weeknd.
In a modern fashionable wardrobe, shoes with fluffy trim are an unambiguous must have. She is represented in her collections by both Givenchy (Clare Waight Keller, in her first collection for this brand, shod them not women, but men), Max Mara, Aquazzura and TopShop Unique (they decorated elegant stiletto sandals with fur), and Zara and H&M (they released models similar to the ones created Rihanna). The Valentino collection has sandals made of dark brown mink fur, and Dolce & Gabbana models walked the catwalk in both classic fur flip-flops and curly, in the style of large soft slippers from childhood. And the famous creator Anya Hindmarch could not resist the trend, there are fur flip-flops with eyes in her collection. Prada approached the issue a little more practically, in their collection the slippers came out with a closed cape, which is logical, given the season.
Fur sliders are so loved by everyone also because they are incredibly democratic. They can be combined and worn with anything, from strict pantsuits and silk evening and cocktail dresses, as presented at the shows of Celine and Sonia Rykiel, to jeans and other casual clothes, as they are worn by Rihanna, Gigi Hadid and Sofia Richie.
