OWe call these low-heeled pumps kitten heels, kitten heels in the original version. They owe this nickname to the young women who wear them to get used to walking perched. Their hour of glory? In the 1950s, thanks in particular to an iconic figure who has lost none of her aura: Audrey Hepburn, period Diamonds on the couch, de Blake Edwards. “They made their big comeback on the Prada and Miu Miu fall/winter 2023 runway. Today, we see them in everyone’s fashion, from luxury houses to more accessible brands,” notes Victoria Dartigues, fashion purchasing director at La Samaritaine in Paris. kitten heels are perfectly in tune with the times, the ideal halfway point between the comfort of flats, always in fashion, and those high-top stilettos that have been shunned since the pandemic. “This season, the kitten heels can be worn with everything from suits to denim to XXL pants. They provide just the right height to slim the silhouette while remaining comfortable,” confirms Victoria Dartigues. So many good reasons to give in to the trend.
