SLiP-on MULES b y i v a n A l l e g r a n t i 1 4 7 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I S mart and comfortable, easy to wear but also chic, slip-on mules have taken the fashion system by storm. Flat and with closed toe, mules, as they are called, are perfect on every occasion. From a party to a business meeting, the modern fashionista is able to combine and adapt the slip-on mules to every outfit, but of course, they have to be impeccable both in terms of craftsmanship as well as in terms of design. Edgardo osorio, founder of Aquazzura, presents this spring the Crystal Lotus mules. Made in italy from silky satin in bright yellow, those mules feature a playful puff and are finished on a gleaming, metallic little heel. This elegant and chic flat works with everything from denim to a classic black dress. brunello Cucinelli, understated and classic as usual, presents its version of mules inspired by the masculine style of the loafer. Made in calfskin, the mule displays the burnished calfskin’s suede and polished surface while a keeper is enriched with a bonded leather strap made with the combination of different materials, creating subtle colour contrasts to which precious shiny monili embroidery is added. What is so special about these mules is their lightweight construction which is made possible by the combination of the thin leather outsole, in tune with the sleek lines of the upper. romantic and glamorous, Venetian shoe maestro rené Caovilla presents its version of mules: the Eliza mules. Crafted from black patent leather, these slip-on mules have been flawlessly finished with a tonal bow detail and double string of pearls defining the foot arch, giving the wearer that 50s vibe. bold and strong, Sergio rossi presents its sr1 mules characterised by their rectangular shape and shoe toe. Made in linen, these mules remind us of the sea colours and life on the coast. The internal composition of the slip-on mules is lamb skin while the sole is in leather. Then of course, Gucci, the one who has introduced the trend of slip- on mules since Alessandro Michele joined the italian fashion house as creative director. For this spring they present their almost iconic Princetown slipper in a metallic gold shade and with Gucci’s symbolic gold-tone Horsebit logo. The shoe features then a leather sole.
