AI-generated image for representative purposes only Turn your shoes into a canvas that narrates your story. From your favourite cartoon characters, food items, to even dainty accessories like bows, safety pins, chains, bears, etc. , your shoes can hold all kinds of charms that best depict your personality. What started as a trend in the West has now spread among shoeheads in India as well. According to Neeti Patwa, founder of a bespoke jewellery boutique store, 'The trend allows individuals to personalise their look. Just like jewellery, shoe charms can reflect your mood, personality, or even the occasion. They're small, but they stand out, and they can make even the most basic pair of shoes pop.' Coach, Miu Miu offer charms made of leather, with metal accents and branded motifs. Simone Rocha's collaboration with Crocs is one of the best-known interpretations of this trend. Labubus, the internet's hottest charms for handbags, can be easily clipped to your footwear too, for a quirky twist Meghna Ghodawat Simone Rocha's collaboration with Crocs (@simonerocha)(left)/Labubu shoe charm(right) (@essentiacollections) An extension of one's personality Personalising any item from your wardrobe reflects your personality. The same goes for shoes. Suhana Sethi, a sneakerhead and digital creator, was first introduced to this trend when she was in London.

Suhana Sethi likes changing her shoe charms from time to time There is a thought behind every charm A combination of factors determines the choice of the charms. Mainak Chakraborty, a shoe enthusiast, picks charms depending on the occasion. 'If I am hanging out with friends, I choose a fun set. For a special movie outing, I try to match the charms to it. For me, my charms need to mean something.' For Suhana, the choice of charms depends largely on her outfit, likes and mood. 'Jordans, French fries, macaroons, sports games I follow, etc. , are a few things I like. So I buy and use those charms.' Meanwhile, Nandini opts for a mix of fun and cute elements. 'It's like building a tiny red carpet moment for my feet. My shoes keep up with the drama.' Experiment with styles Although most popularly used on sneakers, charms can also be added to heels or boots. They are easily available on e-commerce websites at affordable prices. Here are a few styling tips to get you started: Thread a pair of broad satin ribbons with glass beads or pearls to lace up your sneakers Opt for safety pins with little charms in fruit shapes or Korean-themed bows to add zest to your regular sneakers Adorn your heels with crystal pins, floral motifs, or pearl strands. These can be worn across your ankle or added to the straps of your shoes You can loop small charms through your shoelaces for a fun, personalised detail Use a delicate chain with charms across the back of boots for a subtle but different look Add a single statement charm near the tongue of the shoe to draw attention Opt for symbolic charms to make it personal (Tips by Meghna Ghodawat, luxury fashion stylist, Neeti Patwa, founder of a bespoke jewellery boutique store) Just like custom embroidery or monogrammed bags, charms offer a small yet powerful way to say something personal. Whether it's initials, a symbol of love, or a charm that reflects a mood, each one becomes a wearable part of your story Tanushri Biyani Don't damage shoes Avoid overloading the shoes with too many charms Choose charms with smooth finished backs to prevent abrasion Always remove charms before storing the shoes to prevent dents or impressions Secure them tightly so they don't swing excessively (Tips by Tanushri Biyani, founder of a bridal sneaker and footwear brand)

Stuart Vevers Celebrates OBE Honor With Florence Pugh, Will Poulter
LONDON — Stuart Vevers of Coach returned home to England this week to collect his Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, otherwise known as an OBE, for his services to fashion. A moment like this calls for a celebration. More from WWD Charles Melton Uses Coach's Soho Sneaker as a Decoy to Escape Paparazzi in New Campaign Coach Commits $20M to Student Scholarships Coach Debuts Coach Gold Feminine Fragrance With Fresh Campaign Starring Brand Ambassador Storm Reid The British designer invited around 300 people to Two Temple Place by the River Thames on Thursday night in London with Coach chief executive officer Todd Kahn by his side as cohost. Guests on the night included his family, friends, Coach crew and stars such as Florence Pugh, Will Poulter, Yasmin Finney and Mimi Webb. Two Temple Place is known for its neo-gothic architecture and contains artwork by William Silver Frith, Sir George Frampton, Nathaniel Hitch and Thomas Nicholls. 'It's a beautiful historic space and we really leaned into that. We dressed up the place by bringing in historical furniture and it's very classical in its approach. If the weather's good, we're going to start with drinks outside,' said Vevers in an interview on Wednesday. The designer got heavily involved in the planning of the party – he curated the food menu, floral arrangements and some of the music before a DJ got there in the evening. Vevers is the first creative director of an American fashion brand to receive full honors. He was included in the Birthday 2024 Honours List, approved by King Charles III. 'I was excited and surprised – so many things started to run through my mind. I feel really proud, but it's so much for the people in my life and my parents, for whom so much of what we do in fashion goes over their heads. They might not know what a CFDA award is, but this is something really tangible to them,' he said. 'Sometimes the perception is that our industry is frivolous. This award is an acknowledgement, in a way, that reinforces the work that we all do in fashion and it can be really meaningful. Our business is about people's lifelong commitments to skills,' he added. Vevers received the call about the award from the British Consulate when he was driving. The first person he called was his husband, Benjamin Seidler, and then his parents in the U.K. Vevers collected his award from Princess Anne in a classic black suit with his husband and two children by his side, which he said made the Investiture ceremony more special. 'My kids turned five on Sunday and the age in which someone is allowed to attend the ceremony is five, it feels timely and like a sign,' he said, adding that he's been playing tourist with his family and rediscovering London through a pair of fresh eyes. Vevers wanted to stay at the Savoy Hotel to follow through with the 'classic London' theme. 'My son River was so excited when he saw a black cab and this trip has encouraged me not to take things for granted that you're just used to seeing,' he said. From 2015 to 2017, Coach was a regular name on the runways of London, staging shows during London Collections: Men. Maybe Vevers, now with his OBE, will consider coming back to the city more regularly and bringing his menswear shows with him.
