Surrealism may be in the air, thanks to the revival of the house of Schiaparelli, which opens its historic doors on Place Vendôme for the first time in decades this weekend, just ahead of couture week in Paris. But it is experiencing something of a revival on the ground, too. Forget the stiletto, the wedge or the stacked heel: this season’s shoes are supported by dancing figurines, upturned lipstick tubes and even butterfly wings. There is fun to be had blurring the lines between art and fashion. Look down, and you never know what you will see.
就在巴黎高级定制时装周开幕前,位于旺多姆广场(Place Vendôme)的夏帕瑞丽时尚屋(Schiaparelli)再次打开尖封的大门,这是时隔几十年后的第一次,看来时尚界又刮起了超现实主义风,足下鞋履也刮起了这种时尚风。忘掉那些细鞋跟、楔形跟以及层叠鞋跟吧:这个时装季,飞舞的小塑像、倒转的口红管甚至蝴蝶翼变成了鞋后跟。它们模糊了艺术与时尚的界限,显得别有一番风情。看着鞋后跟,千奇百怪、令人叹为观止。
