Look of the Week: Olivia Rodrigo wears fashion’s most subversive shoe

CNN  

Editor’s Note: Featuring the good, the bad and the ugly, ‘Look of the Week’ is a regular series dedicated to unpacking the most talked about outfit of the last seven days. “It’s important to do what you want and there will always be some people who agree.” The uncanny boot — part hoof, part human foot, often stitched in soft leather that looks like a second skin — was inspired by the 15th Japanese worker shoe and has long been considered one of fashion’s most subversive items, polarizing opinion for 35 years. This week, Tabis unlocked a new level of mainstream popularity when Gen Z popstar Olivia Rodrigo donned a pair of black 30mm heel ballet pumps.

Last month, singer Dua Lipa was seen wearing the label’s ballerina style — complete with a double leather strap, woven sole and that cloven-like shape.
