Redefining “Dad Shoes”

Redefining “Dad Shoes”

In September of 2021, the Australian pop culture and style website, Man of Many published an article entitled, “15 Dad Shoes That Will Make You King of the Cookout.” Dad shoes, if you’re unfamiliar with the concept, are typically thought of as white, thick-soled, chunky, absurdly comfortable sneakers that can be purchased at Kohls or Modell’s for well under $100. They are the preferred shoes of undercover cops, power walkers, and middle aged dads who don’t really care about how they look. The Nike Monarch and New Balance 624 are the exemplars of the genre.Hokas Shoes They both look like sweet potatoes strapped to your feet. Jerry Seinfeld popularized the look on his show in the 1990s. And while the Balenciaga, Yeezy, and Louis Vuitton’s interpretation of the Dad sneaker were all really ...
Behold: The Only Shoes You’ll Ever Need In Your Summer Wardrobe

Behold: The Only Shoes You’ll Ever Need In Your Summer Wardrobe

Listen, I love boots. I practically hold back tears when the sun starts blazing and I’m forced to shove my beloved Chelseas toward the back of my closet, lest my feet start to roast. But summer shoe season does have its benefits—for one, the sheer range of footwear available to shop. Winter’s naturally restrictive; there are only so many styles that can survive multiple months of cold, grey slush. But summer means both open-toed and close-toed designs have free reign. And with so many summer events—vacations, weddings, Hoka Shoes cocktail parties, long walks on the beach, baseball games, casual Fridays at the office—there are more excuses than ever to fill your shopping cart. Of course, that also means there’s a confounding number of options to choose from. Whereas a winter capsu...

Momentous end to Fashion Week sees First Nations fashion designers announce official opening of Sydney pop-up store

Fashion Week ended last week with an emphatic exclamation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander excellence. The First Nations Fashion + Design (FNFD) closing runway highlighted designers from right across Australia. FNFD celebrates independent Indigenous designers and supports their growth and development in the fashion industry. Supported by THE ICONIC, First Nations Fashion + Design Brooks Shoes  wowed a packed crowd on Friday night, with female musicians and a primarily female line-up of designers as a way to explore the matriarchal structure of First Nations' culture. And while the event marked the end of a week in which fashion was front and centre, it's also a new beginning for First Nations fashion. For Sydneysiders, Election Day this Saturday, May 21, will also mark the off...
Main Line Student Fashion Designers & The Process Quartet To Stage an Event on May 22 at The Bryn Mawr Gazebo

Main Line Student Fashion Designers & The Process Quartet To Stage an Event on May 22 at The Bryn Mawr Gazebo

LOWER MERION – “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street. Fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” Coco Chanel‘s sentiments are still à propos, despite the passing of decades since she revolutionized fashion. One way to understand “what is happening” is to Skechers Outlets create experiences for student artists and designers to showcase their fashion ideas. Since 2007, just such an opportunity has steadily developed in the form of the annual Teen Learning Community Student Fashion & Design Show. The upcoming Sunday, May 22 Fashion & Design Show will be held at The Bryn Mawr Gazebo and Green adjacent to Ludington Library. The F & D Show originated in May of 2007 at the Bryn Mawr Gazebo and S...

Fashion’s big night

In a night of celebration and camaraderie, the Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts Department of Fashion Design + Merchandising last week held its first in-person fashion event since 2019.

Former South Carolina Gamecock football players made moves around the NFL this weekend.
