In the family of shoes whose existence is in fashion what the Crocs are in good taste, I ask the mules. A symbol of sexyness and glamor at the feet of Marilyn Monroe in the 50s, they were associated with the girl power of the 90s before undergoing an unprecedented desert crossing in the history of shoes.

Judged impassable by ordinary mortals, they have become the monopoly of a Hollywood elite who has gradually abandoned them for the stilettos of creators. After a few attempts to come back in the early 2010s, the mule seems to want to come back for good, even to cope with slippers, tap or slashes. Decryption of a trend that has not said its last word.

The mule version pumps

Hard to do more feminine than high-heeled mules if not more perilous. Inspired by open or closed pumps , they give desires of height not rational that the practice will not fail to restrain. Unless you're one of those women who are not afraid of 12cm heels of heels. In this case, respect .

The babouche version mule


No, it's not a sight of the spirit: the babouche is the cool shoe of the spring-summer 2017. Cool because rehabilitated by the temple of the trendiness , Acne Studios but also worldwide because it is adored by Dolce & Gabbana . In gilded leather, raw or printed, it comes in versions as diverse as varied, leaving us thinking that it will undoubtedly be a success of the summer.

The mule slipper version

As accustomed to spa-hotels and other luxury thalassos , luxury-house guests could not dream of anything more than delicate mules to wander in their immaculate bathrobe. Ultra-delicate and all evidence too fragile for the urban jungle, they will certainly be reserved for use exclusively inside although we would like to exhibit on urban asphalt.

The mule version clapper


Brought up to date by Alexander Wang, among others , the pool flapper persists and signs, even if in the background, we know, from you to me, that ever O great God we will ever wear them outside a space dedicated to water recreation unless you have the chance to get your hands on Dior streetwear style or the one imagined by Bouchra Jarrar at Lanvin, deliciously chic.
