WHAT'S COOL, CUTTING EDGE AND IMPORTANT IN FASHION

SHOE-INS

Once you gaze upon a pair of exquisitely embellished slippers by Sanayi 313, most other shoes will pale in comparison. The Turkish brand, which you can now find at Holt Renfrew, crafts its flat, pointed slip-ons by hand—one pair can take up to 36 hours to make. These maximalist beauties, which are often embroidered with beetle and star motifs in gold thread, are proof that flats can be as show-stopping as any stiletto. (From $1,495, holtrenfrew.com)
