As the coronavirus pandemic continues to increase health and safety concerns, many consumers have upped their cleaning and disinfecting practices. So as the debate on whether or not COVID-19 can live on shoes and for how long continues, washing your footwear isn’t the worst precaution to take. Last year, British women’s footwear retailer Ravel commissioned a study to examine the cleanliness of footwear, putting 10 pairs to the test. The study found that the soles of shoes carry more bacteria and fungi than the uppers. Shoes worn at the office attracted less bacteria than shoes worn at night, while leather carried less bacteria than suede, for example. With that in mind, Vince Camuto’s new Washables collection, featuring a line of machine-washable flats is an ideal purchase. Availab

Earlier this week we wondered if Saint Laurent was staging its spring 2021 men’s show atop a famous Paris landmark, namely Paris’ Sacré Coeur basilica . Mainly because the teaser material the house sent FN involved shots of aforementioned basilica with a model perched on a balustrade running around its dome. And indeed they did.
