Style The corona crisis turned comfort into the new classy. Fashion brand Balenciaga has understood that well. They will soon be releasing a slipper with a heel, so you can look chic and daring even in your ‘hotel lounge’.

You know them. Those way too big, white hotel slippers that you take home and never wear again. Demna Gvasalia, creative director at Balenciaga, has come up with an original solution for the latter. He placed an inch heel underneath the classic pool slippers, added an embroidered Balenciaga logo and some fluff toe, and there you go.
With this updated version of the glass slipper, Gvasalia adds another ugly-cool shoe to his already quite extensive oeuvre, which includes platform Crocs and so-called ‘teen sneakers’. Admittedly, his latest creation may only be for the daredevil, as Balenciaga’s lookbook makes it clear that you don’t just wear this ‘hotel slipper’ under your pajamas. In fact, you can take it to a wedding. If it ever comes to that, yes.
