These Divisive Designer Sandals Are A Fashion Favourite
Coperni knows a thing or two about orchestrating viral content. From Bella Hadid's live spray-on dress, to Kylie Jenner's Disneyland runway debut, and the iconic glass Swipe bag, the Parisian fashion house has perfected the art of creating a 'moment'. But it's not just the sharable snippets that've taken Coperni to household-name status, it's the ability to create clothes and accessories that people really want to wear. Case in point, the Coperni wedge sandals that have appeared season after season - and always seem to sell out. So, what's the draw? Whilst, on paper, platform flip-flops shouldn't work the reality is actually rather aesthetically pleasing. Not only are flip-flops one of 2025's biggest footwear trends but the chunky wedge heel packs plenty of Y2K punch. Plus, the platform foam sole is surprisingly comfy, easy to stroll around in and also available in different heights. Finally, they seem to go with everything from capri pants to maxi dresses. Whether you're headed to the beach, walking around the city or off for a night out – these wedges expertly toe the line between dressed up and dressed down depending on your outfit, ensuring you get your money's worth. On the subject of cost, every now and then a designer item hits the price point sweet spot between extortionate and relatively accessible, meaning us 'normal folk' can actually get in on the action without totally breaking the bank, note Loewe's sell-out logo tank top or Miu Miu's oval sunglasses, both of which have crossed over from pipe-dream-purchase into something that we're willing to spend our hard-earned cash on. So, although these wedges are in the hundreds, rest assured they'll soon earn their keep. Black Wedge Heeled Sandals Opt for classic black for a pair that'll go with everything from bikinis and sarongs to trackies and tank tops. Blue Denim Wedge Heeled Sandal For denim head to toe, consider this indigo blue denim pair that are selling out at super speed. Plus you can currently save over £60 on this colourway. Logo Wedge Sandals Try something tropical with a floral-print thong strap - ideal for your next summer holiday. Black And Pink Wedge Sandals Add a touch of pastel pink to proceedings with this pink and black colourway. Blue Denim Wedge Sandals Arriving last season, the blue denim version is proving to be a firm favourite with the fashion pack.

Why Clog Sandals Are the Sleeper Hit of Summer Fashion
A clog sandal might be what's missing from your footwear rotation. Easy and nonchalant, a wooden-sole shoe nods to the carefree summers of the '70s and '90s—and thanks to the ongoing boho revival, the style feels fresh once again. That said, I'm not talking about your babysitter's mall-bought flatforms of the '90s and early aughts. Today's iterations are chic and sophisticated, featuring polished gold hardware and luxurious leather, suede, or pony hair fabrications. Choose a towering heel that evokes the disco era or a low-heel slip-on that works for a day of sightseeing or exploring. So, how to style around them? My money is on everything from bloomer shorts to long linen shirtdresses. You can even play up the retro factor and wear them with a cute gingham outfit for weekend brunch. There are few warm-weather looks they wouldn't add a nonchalant charm to, I promise. Shop the ELLE editor-approved clog sandals to wear all season, below. These Miu Miu sandals feature a 30mm wooden heel, which means you'll be able to clock 10,000 steps without a hitch (your Oura will thank you). Made in Italy, the wide upper band features the label's distinctive logo in metallic gold lettering—so everyone will know you've scored the shoe of the moment. Sizes: 5-12 Colors: White, Black, Pink, Red Materials: Wood, leather, rubber Catherine Holstein continues to deliver must-have silhouettes season after season. Next up: a slightly retro, yet forward-thinking take on a slip-on clog. Thanks to a vamp rendered in luxurious pony hair (poised to be huge this fall) and an adjustable buckle featuring the signature Elio gold hardware, the Britt is the ultimate wishlist item. Sizes: 6-11 Colors: Racing Green, Barley, Black Materials: Wood, pony hair calfskin leather It's no secret that nostalgia-tinted jelly sandals have been making a comeback, and these slip-on clogs are a fun update. The gold studs and brand's signature wing-shaped hardware ensure they're elevated enough to wear to the office or for drinks, while a comfortable padded footbed and a 50mm heel make them just as suitable for running errands. Colors: Caramel, Black, Clear Materials: Wood, PVC, rubber Favorite Daughter continues to win everyone over for its reliable wardrobe staples, and this collaboration with Dr. Scholl's lets the Foster sisters dabble in the shoe category, too. The aptly named Heartbreak Kitten Heel is a flirty nod to a vintage slip-on clog, modernized with croc-embossed leather and a buckled vamp. Plus, you can't beat a cushioned footbed. Colors: Navy, White, Brown, Wine, Tan Customer review: 'This is such a comfortable shoe with style and class that only Dr. Scholl can create! Love them!' We can thank Chloé for the resurgence of bohemian codes in recent years, and the Jeannette sandals are the perfect way to add a touch of romantic flair to any look, even your favorite T-shirt and jeans. These studded leather platform sandals boast a sturdy 110mm heel that pays nods to the hippie era, and they're still comfortable enough to carry you through a night on the dance floor. Sizes: 5-11 Colors: Ginger Brown, Black, Eggshell Materials: Wood, leather, polyurethane Sweet and feminine, this cut-out leather option is bound to look cute peeking out from under a summer maxi dress or paired with tanned legs and an anklet. Sizes: 5-10 Colors: White, Pink, Gold, Dark Brown Materials: Synthetic wood, leather, rubber Customer review: 'These are so comfy! Adds a little pop of fun to any outfit! Can wear with most anything from jeans to dresses! I have gotten so many compliments.' Dolce Vita's Yandy Sandal is groovy without feeling dated. However, with its substantial 100mm heel, this style isn't for the faint of heart—or anyone with balance issues. Once you've adjusted to the height, though, you won't want to take them off until you're home for the night, thanks to the bouncy, leather-lined footbed Colors: Cognac, Raffia Materials: Leather upper, synthetic lining and sole Iconic British footwear retailer Schuh's in-house brand is reliably on-trend and well-priced. This season, don't sleep on its suede slip-on clogs, finished with cool gold rivets. With a mid-heel, this style strikes the perfect balance for all-day wear. Colors: Khaki, Chocolate, Cream Materials: Wood, suede Like its sister brand Zara, Bershka is a reliable go-to for footwear silhouettes that are buzzy without breaking the bank. Thanks to a rich dark brown colorway and elevated gold hardware—not to mention the bonus of an AIRFIT® latex foam insole—these are bound to become your most-worn shoes of the season. Colors: Brown Materials: Polyurethane Madewell's bestselling Anouk platform is lighter than it looks, and an adjustable buckle ankle strap keeps you feeling secure while logging miles in them. Colors: True Black, Dark Denim Multi Materials: Synthetic sole, leather upper Customer review: 'As a child of the '70s and a lover of platforms, these caught my eye. They are fantastic. Easy to walk in. Can wear them all day. Get so many compliments. And should get commission for the number of pairs I've 'sold' while wearing them.' Fun-loving brand SIMONMILLER just knows how to create footwear that puts a smile on your face. Case in point: these block-heel babies. The plush rubber sole makes them a dream to wear from morning 'til night, while the silver dome studs add a little something special. Feeling bold? There's a leopard version, too—just saying. Colors: Caramel, Leopard Materials: Wood, rubber Unsurprisingly, Free People is a treasure trove of boho-leaning clog sandals to suit every taste. The Cecily is a tried-and-true nod to the free-love era, and with studded leather and a tall pinewood heel, it's hard not to be obsessed. Colors: Black, Tan, Valchetta Materials: Leather, wood, rubber Customer review: 'I've had my eye on these for over a year now and finally pulled the trigger, so glad I did! I worked a full retail shift on a cobblestone floor and my feet fell great. No issues at all. Treat yourself!!' Much like its namesake, the Casanova Raffia sandal is ready for adventure. The natural texture contrasts nicely with a sleek, elongated heel and oversized buckle, making it a versatile pick for just about any summer dress code.

Celine names Robert Holden as North America President ahead of artistic transition
Celine has appointed Robert Holden as president of its North American division, as the brand prepares for a new chapter under incoming artistic director Michael Rider. The appointment was reported by WWD, signaling a key leadership change as Celine embarks on its next creative phase. Holden, who currently oversees Miu Miu in the Americas, brings a deep understanding of both luxury retail and youthful experimentation, qualities that will be crucial as Celine repositions itself post-Hedi Slimane. The brand confirmed his appointment, though his official start date remains under wraps. The move comes as Celine readies for the highly anticipated debut of artistic director Michael Rider, whose first collection will be unveiled in Paris on July 6. The presentation, nestled strategically between men's fashion week and couture week, marks Celine's return to the live runway after a string of highly stylised digital films under Slimane's tenure. Rider's debut is expected to set the tone for a redefined aesthetic and commercial trajectory. Holden replaces Sarah Benady, who departed last year to take the reins at Jacquemus in Paris. His résumé reads like a curated tour of contemporary fashion's powerhouses: sales roles at Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, and Alexander Wang preceded his executive tenure at Miu Miu. Notably, he began his career on the shop floor, rising through the buying ranks at Saks Fifth Avenue before crossing over into brand-side leadership. His appointment signals Celine's intent to recalibrate not just its creative identity but also its commercial engine in the all-important North American market. For fashion insiders, the timing suggests a tightly coordinated relaunch, one where retail, branding and design will need to align seamlessly. Holden's track record in shaping aspirational yet accessible brand narratives could prove pivotal as Celine looks to reassert its influence.

She succeeds Silvia Onofri, who joined Miu Miu as chief executive officer in February.

I am truly honored to embrace this role and contribute to Napapijri's next phase of growth and global elevation,' the executive continued. She joins the brand from the Yoox Net-a-porter Group, where she most recently served as managing director of Yoox worldwide and executive committee member, leading the brand's strategic positioning, omnichannel evolution and commercial strategy. She also co-led the group's Infinity Strategy, a long-term sustainability program fostering circularity across business and culture.

Every experience has deepened my passion for purposeful branding, digital transformation, and building diverse, high-performing teams,' said Visconti Prasca. 'What excites me the most about Napapijri is its bold, unexpected spirit. I eagerly anticipate collaborating with its talented team to push boundaries and create lasting, meaningful impact.' In 2023, for the first time since its foundation in Aosta, Italy, in 1987, Napapijri named a global creative director, appointing Christopher Raeburn, the British designer known for his sustainable credentials as a recycling and upcycling fashion pioneer. The brand was launched as a maker of travel bags crafted from waxed cotton canvas. Since then it has grown into a premium lifestyle brand with an outdoorsy and urban bent that offers men's, women's and kids' ready-to-wear, footwear and accessories. Since becoming president and CEO of VF Corp. in August 2023, Bracken Darrell has been busy reinventing the group, cutting costs, resetting the operating structure and changing leadership at the company's brands The North Face, Vans, Timberland and Dickies. Darrell also sold off Supreme to EssilorLuxottica in a $1.5 billion deal that helped clean up the company's balance sheet. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Denver-based company reported net revenue of $2.14 billion, down 5 percent from $2.25 billion in the same period last year.

Should I Brave The Gen Z Skirt This Summer? It's Selling Out Everywhere
I was on holiday recently and started to notice that every woman under the age of, I'm going to say 26, was wearing a very specific outfit formula: a halter-neck top, a pair of trainers and, crucially, a tennis skirt. As someone who's quite far north of their mid-twenties, this stopped me in my tracks. These people definitely weren't headed for a court or sunny patch of grass. They weren't carrying rackets or smuggling tennis balls in the side pockets of these skirts. They were just wearing Maybe you're thinking, this is the final straw! After the tidal wave of track pants (bearable), capri pants (questionable) and now tennis skirts (seriously?), are we really still advocating the sporting of sports kit IRL? Yup (keep up). Coco Gauff at the Berlin Tennis Open ©Imago Coco Gauff has a lot to answer for, too. The French Open-champion raised the game of the humble tennis skirt to a stratospheric high before she raised that silverware on the clay at Roland-Garros. Because watching her serve in that signature green-and-white uniform from Miu Miu x New Balance, you couldn't help but realise why the tennis skirt could be a style ace. In fact, after the mild shock had subsided on holiday, I had already started to clock why the garment is a good idea (in soaring temperatures especially). As a functional piece of sportswear, most come with an in-built pair of shorts that has a pocket for your phone and/or bank card, and tend to be made of a technical material that wicks sweat away from the body to stay breathable and keep you dry on the move. After last week's heatwave and a cancelled train on my way home, I can more than see the appeal. I possibly wouldn't pair my tennis skirt with a sporty top half or a halter-top, although they're also trending so watch the space. I would still play up its preppy side, however, with a knitted V-neck, white ribbed socks and a pair of loafers. (You can also cheat slightly by seeking out a longer style that's white, pleated and still looks ripe for a game or two.) A cute and comfortable uniform that guarantees against guests of wind and will mean you look 'down with the kids' yet grown-up? That I can get on board with. 1. Lululemon, Align™ High-Rise Skirt 2.
