We all have witnessed several trends till now and there are various trends which are nothing but a piece of trash.
It seems it is not going to stop anytime soon. After a number of uncanny shoe style, there is a new trend in the market and it is quite unusual.
A new trend that is going viral nowadays is ‘big-toe’ heels which expose the big toe while the rest fingers are covered. If you are a social media addict then you would have seen many people flaunting their toe wearing these ‘open-toe’ heels and posting pictures online.
The quirky trend shoe design originally appeared as part of the Paris-based street wear label’s Spring Summer 2018 collection. But it made its way on the catwalk again this year at last year’s spring/summer 2019 show, paired with the designer Glenn Martens’ whimsical designs.
You will be surprised to know Y/Projects ‘open-toe’ shoe go for upward of $1,000 are selling out fastest including a black-and-white floral leather open-toed mule version, according to Lyst’s website.
French veteran designer Maison Margiela was the first person who introduced the toe-separation craze with his Tabi calfskin boots in 1989, which cover all toes.
”I wanted to create an ‘invisible’ shoe, the illusion of barefoot walking on a high, chunky heel,” Margiela told Geert Bruloot, the first retailer who stocked Margiela’s pre-Gaultier shoes, in a rare interview about his creation, according to GQ.
According to New York Post: ”The hoof-meets-woman hybrid footprint was first introduced into the fashion lexicon during Margiela’s debut spring/summer 1989 season when models donning the shoes dipped in red paint left the alien footprints in their wake.”
”But regardless of the shoe’s acclaimed avant-garde origins, even Margiela’s centaur-ish boots made their way onto the widely followed @CrimesAgainstShoemanity Instagram with a pair of boots with feet painted on top.”
