This Influential Designer Just Endorsed the "Ugly" Shoe Trend
Who What Wear readers may have noticed a theme in our footwear coverage as of late: the "ugly" shoe trend is dominating fashion right now—and we aren't complaining. For starters, there are the Gigi Hadid approved Adidas pool slides and Ashley Olsen's Birkenstocks. And who could forget Christopher Kane's bejeweled Crocs that debuted on the runway at New York Fashion Week? Now, we have another influential name to add to the list of supporters: none other than Miuccia Prada.
Taking her bow at the end of the Miu Miu show during Paris Fashion Week, the designer stepped out in a pair of multicolored Teva sandals. She gave the casual shoes a sophisticated touch with a classic khaki trench coat cinched at the waist. All in all, Prada is proof that this comfortable trend is definitely here to stay.
Scroll down to see Miuccia Prada's full outfit, and go a bit further to see our favorite looks from the Miu Miu S/S 17 show!

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
