Pur essendo scarpe basse, vengono viste dal mondo della moda come chic e assolutamente senza tempo.
Inoltre, sono comodissime (cosa non da poco!) e si rivelano essere adatte per tutte quelle occasioni in cui i tacchi sarebbero "troppo" e delle sneakers sarebbero "poco"..non so se rendo l'idea :)
Chi fu la prima a lanciarne la moda? Brigitte Bardot.
Which girl hasn't a pair of flats? I defy to find one.
Even if they're flat shoes, they're considered by fashion as chic and absolutely timeless.
Moreover, they're so comfortable (that's saying a lot!) and they're suitable for all those occasions in which a pair of high heels would be "too much" and a pair of sneakers would be "not enough"..don't know if I've got it across :)
Who was the first to start the fashion? Brigitte Bardot.
Era una ballerina classica (ahhh..invidia!) e quando firmò il contratto per il film E Dio Creò La Donna chiese a Rose Repetto, noto marchio di scarpette da punta, di reallizzarle un paio di paperine da indossare durante le riprese. Inutile dire che le vendite salirono alle stelle dopo l'uscita del film.
E indovinate un po' chi fu ad indossarle qualche tempo dopo, sempre durante le riprese di un film? Ma ovviamente, Audrey in Cenerentola a Parigi.
She was a ballet dancer (ahhh..what envy!) and when she signed the contract for the film And God Created Woman she asked Rose Repetto, a well-known brand of point shoes, to make for her a pair of flat shoes to wear during the shooting. It's useless to say that after the film was realised, the sellings shooted up.
And guess who was the second woman to use them in one of her film.. Obviously, Audrey in Funny Face.

Ieri pomeriggio, complici il sole e gli alberi che cominciano a fiorire, mi sono messa a fotografare le mie paperine in cortile: non vi dico le scene con api&co (detesto le api e ho una paura folle che mi si avvicinino)..appena le sentivo ronzare vicine scappavo e le scarpe cadevano dall'albero.. dopo dieci minuti buoni mi sono resa conto che i vicini si stavano palesemente godendo la scena dal balcone.. :)
Yesterday afternoon, sun and blooming trees playing their part, I took some pics of my flats in the garden: you should have seen me with bees&co (I hate them and I'm madly afraid they fly near me)..as soon as I heard them I run away and my shoes fell down from the tree.. after ten minutes I realised my neighbours were glaringly enjoy the scene from their balcony.. :)
