Even the most luxe of fashion houses haven’t escaped the mulement. Dior’s recent Fall/Winter 2022 show — in Kim Jones’ typical collaborative fashion — revealed the label had partnered with Birkenstock to create the most opulent slippers, complete with floral embroidery and Dior logos. Consider these couture clogs.
In case you’ve missed it, mules have been on the rise for the past few years, although the pandemic significantly bolstered the popularity of the comfortable, slip-on shoes. Birkenstock in particular has been embraced by the high-fashion community, amassing collaborations with Proenza Schouler, Jil Sander, and Rick Owens. Versatile enough for running a quick errand, walking around the neighborhood, and now, wearing down the runway, mules are the ultimate chill shoe — and we can assume those able to afford the Dior version are doing more chilling than the rest of us.
