Our Legacy derby


 

As seen at and exclusive to Tres Bien

As the reality of Prada flatforms drift further away, these autumn/winter derbies from Our Legacy have crept into the spotlight. Made from smooth calf leather and featuring a beautifully natural wedged crepe sole and rounded toe, it ticks every box for a perennially appropriate piece of footwear.

 

Balenciaga, Canine knit

When one thinks of Balenciaga, keywords like haute couture, construction, structure and innovation come to mind. What doesn’t however, is Canine knit sweater.

The (post-post) ironic knit jumper has been a mainstay in most wardrobes of Dalston and Williamsburg residents for many years, and while a strong option that may be, it came as a surprise that this would have bubbled from street level to the ‘thinking fashionista’s fashion label’. Perhaps this amiable Alsatian was included to offset Givenchy’s a/w offering of menacing Rottweilers.

While not for everyone’s taste, the angora and nylon mix will surely be warm enough to keep the biting winds at bay this winter.
