For those of us attending fashion month virtually, things have been a bit less, well, exciting. Gone is the thrill of seeing the new garments, shoes and bags move in real time on the runway, and the up-close, tactile moments of craftsmanship that can only really be done at showroom appointments and re-sees. But one French fashion house has managed to create buzz with just a look book — and it’s doing so by paying homage to its own history. Schiaparelli spring ’21.

Look Out Bottega Veneta — Is Givenchy The New ‘It’ Shoe Brand For Spring 2021?

Image
Since its new creative director Daniel Lee showed marshmallow-like quilted pumps on the runway in 2018, Bottega Veneta has been the brand when it comes to “It” shoes — with the sales and searches to prove it . Similarly, new creative director Matthew Williams just revealed a debut collection for Givenchy that is full of quirky, eye-catching footwear (and handbags).

Williams’s debut spring ’21 collection for the French fashion house was not one of the IRL runway shows that have been occurring during Paris Fashion Week in recent days.
