Margaret Qualley’s ‘barefoot’ sandals spark reactions: ‘Won’t be caught dead using public restroom’

Matthieu Blazy, a designer, presented his resort 2027 collection for Chanel in Biarritz, France. The collection featured a unique choice of footwear: barefoot sandals. These sandals had a small leather heel cap and completely bare soles and toes, designed to be worn while walking across grainy, cemented Indian roads. The unusual design left many people, including internet users, shocked and intrigued.

Margaret Qualley, an actress, wore a classic black fringed Chanel dress with cap sleeves and a plunging neckline at the London premiere of her upcoming movie, The Dog Stars. She paired the dress with tiny black Chanel sandals that left her toes bare. The internet has been buzzing with reactions, with some praising the trend and others expressing their disapproval.

Martin Margiela's tabi design and Balenciaga's Zero sandal are also notable mentions in the history of minimalist footwear in fashion.
