So many have us have given into full comfort and converted to life as sneakerheads in recent years, but we are ready to say goodbye and step back into loafers, boots, and sexy ( but comfortable) heel alternatives. Serge Ruffieux’s 13 09 SR isn’t giving us old-fashioned shoes, he is giving us an alternative to the traditional, a bit cooler, and breaking down the codes of uniform. With a good pair of shoes, anything is instantly chic.
Designer Serge Ruffieux, might not be a household name, but he has been behind some of the biggest designers from Italian houses including Moschino to John Galliano, and Raf Simmons at Dior. His first collection for 13 09 SR saw flat shoes, sandals, and moccasins, made from upcycled or recycled materials and in limited editions which quickly garnered cult status in inner circles. This eco-responsible approach to craftsmanship is what brought us to see the latest 13 09 SR collection for fall winter 2023 during Paris Fashion Week. And our favourite piece? We can’t narrow it down to one.
