JIMMY CHOO WILL HAVE YOU SOLD ON SOUPED-UP SNEAKERS

If you thought Christian Lacroix’s £1,600 sparkles were pushing boundaries, these crystal-smothered edifices at Jimmy Choo will leave zero change from £3,000. Will they sell? Not in their millions. But at Choo’s presentation in a Milanese apartment, an entire room was dedicated to sneakers of this ilk. Trainers are being worn by everyone, everywhere (cue recalibrated dress codes at traditional clubs and restaurants). How long will trainer mania last? “It’s like the denim revolution of 60 years ago,” says Stefano Gabbana, whose Dolce & Gabbana trainers now account for 70 per cent of its footwear sales. “It’s changed the way we think about comfort. No one wants to give that up.”
