Trend: Clogs

The peak of the popularity of the clogs - the national European wooden shoes - came at the end of the 60s, on a wave of love for ethnics and everything natural. On eBay, and now you can buy wooden shoes like those worn by Janis Joplin. Nobody thought that they would return, but at the Chanel spring show Karl Lagerfeld released Lara Stone and Sasha Pivovarova on the catwalk in clogs with the company logo and said that "this is fashionable again." After that, democratic brands like Zara and Topshop also showed up, having presented their version of the famous couple in less than a month and a half.

Now the clogs are everywhere: optimistic colors and the smell of fruit gum from Melissa, with a print of kittens and swallows on satin from Miu Miu, minimalist Celine, comfortable Ugg and aggressive Opening Ceremony. Companies that have long been producing prototypes of peasant shoes — for example, Nina Z, Cape Clogs, and Swedish Hasbeens — are booming, and Tommy Ton and Rumi Neely post photos of their products on their blogs.

The ardent opponents of the clogs (and such a great multitude) predict them a quick oblivion, but it hardly worries the it-girls Alex Chang and Peaches Geldof - in an interview the girls admit that they cannot be separated from their favorite clogs. If we take into account the popularity of all natural and the prefix "eco", this trend may well survive more than one season.
