Miroike . Zip Shoo unzip your feet
This is one of the reason why I’m fond of German fashion designers, both because one of my best friend is a very talented fashion designer based in Berlin, but also I really love the minimalism with which these creatives just find fashionable and comfortable solutions. This introduction is in fact aimed to present you Miroike, a duo based in Berlin who learned fashion with the redhead wizard of London’s rebels Vivienne Westwood. Ramiro Calderon Alvarado and Ulrike Siedel have given an answer to those who like me, are always uncomfortable of going out with high heels (even if believe me, I’d really love to).
They proposed this new line called Zip Shoo, where some revolutionary models can be unzipped and transformed into flat based shoes. Of course the line is not perfect for all the outfits and events, but it is a first step on solving some vertigo problems; in this way you don’t need to bring ballerinas with you anymore (as parachutes for unlikely heights), just bring a bag for your interchangeable heels.
By the way, after writing this post, I forced myself to wear my favorite Nicole Brundage shoes to go to Gareth Pugh opening at Corso Como 10 (my next post), but no one could suspect I had a pair of flat boots hidden in my backpack, (just in case). Following some pics of the amazing clothes and shoes collection, the only weak point of their last work are the bags that are completely iconsistent in my opinion if compered to the style of the other items.
