They look in desperate shape, but Emily Ratajkowski’s loveworn shoes are a status symbol.
’s loafers have lived a long and gruelling existence, their hardships etched into hand-waxed buffalo leather. Wrinkled, deflated and collapsing from the contours of the foot, these former loafers have accompanied the model to the Cannes Film Festival and to H&M activations and on countless paparazzi strolls around Manhattan.
Here is a shoe that has seen things. A benign wizard, a priest with burst capillaries and a taste for sacramental wine, an ageing Mediterranean sitting on a plastic chair in a vest and high-waisted slacks. I would like to wheel them out into a garden and say, “It is enough, please rest”, and let them bake in the sun like a couple of sun-dried tomatoes. These loafers are also the most authentic example of “old money” to have entered the celeb-scape, which is a power move.
For those with extreme amounts of wealth, a raddled item that’s been worn umpteen times is more of a status symbol than a T-shirt emblazoned with the words “Monaco Yacht Club”, or something. And that Ratajkowski – who I presume has box-fresh Adidas Sambas on tap – should return to these well-loved loafers, reminds me of how the Olsens give their Birkin bags permission to age. There’s no point being precious about fashion, clothes are there to be lived in.
