Chanel Resort 2027 Debuts Heel-Less Shoes in Biarritz
Chanel presented its resort 2027 collection in Biarritz, featuring heel-less shoes tied to models' feet, sparking online debate. The semi-barefoot design, part of Matthieu Blazy's second collection for the house, includes only the back half of a shoe with no sole. Vogue staffers debated the trend, with some praising its whimsy and others questioning practicality. The shoes were seen as an evolution of the flip-flop trend and a nod to viral fashion moments reminiscent of Karl Lagerfeld.
