SS2010 Trend: Loafers

By Andrea Petrou on April 14th, 2010

Like them or loafe (sorry) them, loafers are making a huge come back this season.

They were hot at London Fashion Week catwalk shows back in September and a range of top designers have already begun launching these styles into the retail space.

One example is Miu Miu, which has launched a capsule shoe collection for Spring 2010.
The range will hit stores in May and has taken it’s inspiration from classic men’s shoes (hence the loafer).

Now we know they aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but we’ve decided to put together a gallery anyway for those who will be donning these this summer, and remember there’s sometimes nothing better than a flat shoe, especially when it’s in-trend.

Paris Fashion Week: Miu Miu

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on March 3rd, 2008


Isabelle over at Catwalk Queen is relieved that Miuccia Prada saved the day with a bold and relatively daring collection for Miu Miu based on horse jockeys saving what has been a pretty conservative fashion season from total boredom.
Jersey curved panels created volume and emphasised hips (saddlebags?) and in what was a really cute touch each model had their initials embroidered onto the clothes. Nevertheless Miuccia’s trademark quirky touches were fairly muted.
