The feet are out. Just scroll for a few minutes on TikTok to discover a string of transparent shoes. On the Chinese social network, the hashtags associated with this fashion trend have now reached 4 million views, starting with #clearshoes which peaks at 3.7 million views. In theory, this fashion trend shouldn’t shake up the codes of the season, considering that it only replaces other open summer shoes.
Transparency shows off in haute couture
Loewe’s reputation for eccentric shoes is well established. They often take the form of gift wrap, bar soaps, and other cartoon character shapes. No wonder the label worn by Jonathan Anderson is one of the pioneers to have hoisted the transparent shoe on the catwalks of Fashion Week, for both women and men.
Of course, other brands have followed the trend. Such as Prada with its plexiglass mules and sandals, Valentino with its transparent crystal-covered pumps, and of course experts in the field, including Giuseppe Zanotti and Christian Louboutin. We quickly understood that transparent shoes, whatever they are, are in the spotlight this summer.
The stars make the show in transparent
Kylie Jenner, pictured in a semi-sheer dress with equally sheer heeled sandals. Kim Kardashian daringly paired an oversized fur hat with sheer platforms. Caro Daur seen in translucent heels. The common point ? All have already succumbed to the call for transparency. A phenomenon that has recently gained momentum on the steps of the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, with small apparent toes that have not gone unnoticed.
If everyone talked about Jennifer Lawrence’s flip-flops, chosen to accessorize a red couture dress signed by Dior, it was the transparent shoes that were actually the real stars of this fortnight. And at this ultra-glamorous fashion show, the prize goes unquestionably to actress and model Aishwarya Rai who made her first appearance in a shimmering green dress, worn with fully transparent platforms.
