Goodbye Ballet Flats, This French Shoe Will Be Trending Come Fall
The world of dance has leapt long in fashion's collective imagination. Consider the reign of the ballet flat—still twirling its way down runways from Ferragamo to JW Anderson to, of course, Simone Rocha. The style was (and remains) the cornerstone of the 2010s It-girl wardrobe, as shown by the likes of Alexa Chung and Kate Moss. After a brief fall from grace (during the dark days of chunky Fila sneakers, Y2K Buffalos, and other such ankle-breaking styles), the ballet flat has pirouetted back into our wardrobes in a big way: ballet sneakers, ballet loafers, ballet heels, we're all gunning for our own Black Swan moment. Quietly leading the (not so quiet) ballet flat revival? French It-girl brand Repetto, whose styles have been adopted by new-gen fashion girls like Lily-Rose Depp. But prior to ballet flats being associated with any kind of -core, Repetto had a more unlikely mascot: Serge Gainsbourg. In the 1970s, the Frenchman swore by the brand's Zizi style, a soft jazz shoe that was named for dancer Zizi Jeanmaire, daughter-in-law of brand founder Rose Repetto. Today, you can go to Maison Gainsbourg, a Paris museum dedicated to the late singer, and see a pair of his well-worn, well-loved Repettos. The shoes were originally bought for him by partner Jane Birkin, because she was worried about his 'delicate' ankles. It also recalls the classic Derby shoe silhouette—a style with queried origins that traverse Europe: Some historians say the design can be linked to Edward Smith-Stanley, who was the 14th Earl of Derby; his bootmaker was tasked with creating an elegant but hardy shoe. Others connect it to Russian army officer Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher who required shoes fit for the battlefield. The footwear style has also been known by the names Blucher, Gibson, and Lorne. It actually became a popular sporting and hunting shoe in the 1850s, and by the turn of the 20th century, the Derby had become appropriate for wear about town in everyday life. While they share a shape and much of the same sensibilities, Gainsbourg's shoe of choice is much more soft, glove-like, and free-flowing than those that stomped the British East Midlands. Derbies, then—specifically the slim and supple kind—are ready for a comeback. Jacquemus led the charge with its spring 2024 collaboration with Repetto, while Lemaire has quietly adopted the lace-up style in tandem. Most recently, Derby shoes popped up at Celine, where Michael Rider's French take on American prep is quickly emerging as a new trend. (See also: Jonathan Anderson's Dior debut).

Hulk Hogan's legacy lives on: A look at his most iconic cards and collectibles
News of Hulk Hogan's passing has sent shockwaves through fans and collectors alike as the wrestling world lost one of its most iconic figures today. One of the most recognizable faces in pop culture history and a pioneer in pro-wrestling, Hogan defined an era and has left an irreplaceable impact. Hogan's legacy in the ring is only matched by his lasting presence in the hobby. When it comes to wrestling cards, Hogan's are in the top echelon of sought after memorabilia. Since his arrival in the early 1980s, Hogan has been the wrestling focus of the hobby. While we mourn his passing, we take a look at the cardboard that helped capture his legendary life. From rookie cards never released in the U.S. to modern parallel autos, the Hulkster always commanded the attention of collectors. Here's a breakdown of Hulk Hogan's most iconic and valuable cards, from his earliest appearances to contemporary collectibles: 1982 Westling All Stars #2- The True Rookie If wrestling has an equivalent to the 1952 Mickey Mantle, this is it. Widely regarded as Hogan's true rookie, it's arguably the most legendary wrestling card of all time. Interestingly, no PSA 10 examples are documented, adding to the card's mystique. A PSA 9 recently sold for an astounding $132,000, making it one of the highest-priced wrestling cards ever. (Buy on Ebay.) 1985 Topps WWF- The Mainstream Rookie It makes sense that Hogan would have more than one recognized rookie card. His first appearance in a Topps product symbolizes his transition into a pop-culture phenomenon. The iconic vintage design is unmatched today. Only 15 PSA 10 examples exist, with recent sales ranging from $21,000 to $35,000, securing its status as a premier collectible from the 1980s. (Buy on Ebay.) 1981 Popy (Japan) - 1st-Ever Card For dedicated hobby historians, this is Hogan's earliest printed card, part of the 1981 Popy set released before Hulkamania took hold in the U.S. Its international rarity adds considerable intrigue since it was never officially distributed stateside. A PSA 10 sold for $15,000, and even a PSA 9 fetched a substantial $7,500. (Buy on Ebay.) 2022 Panini Champion Signatures- Parallels Gold /10, Blue /49 True to his fans, Hogan participated in high-end collectible sets long after leaving the ring. These contemporary cards cater to today's collector, with the 2022 Panini Champion Signature Gold parallel fetching $20,000 and the Blue /49 version selling between $1,500 and $2,000. Decades after his wrestling career ended, Hogan still commands attention as the set's most coveted card. (Buy on Ebay.) 2023 Leaf Pro Set Memorabilia Auto – Hulkamania Lives On This is for anyone that wants a more attainable and reasonable Hogan card. The card provides the iconic yellow and red gear that all fans want to see. That along with a great bold signature makes for a nice piece to remember his legacy by. Raw versions of these cards can be found for around $200-$400. (Buy on Ebay.) Why Collecting Hulk Hogan Still Matters Despite Hulk Hogan's passing, his life and legacy will endure. He wasn't just some wrestler card to collect, he was and is THE WRESTLER. His contributions to sports entertainment and his iconic status as a pop-culture figure remain unforgettable. His sports cards not just recognize the great wrestler he was but the phenomenon the Hulk was and forever will be. For many fans mourning the loss of the greatest showman of an era, these cards serve as lasting reminders of a legend whose influence transcends the ring. Do you have any Hulk Hogan memorabilia?
