The style has hit Hollywood; Euphoria and Saltburn’s Jacob Elordi made a convincing case for the style in his GQ Men of the Year cover story, which sees him in, in various states of undress, in Roger Vivier court shoes, Manolo Blahnik white pumps and Armando Cabral leather slide slippers. All tempting options.
Meanwhile in London, the new party set is smit. Madonna’s son Rocco Ritchie is hardly ever out of a pair, much like his friends artist Isaac Benisgon and photographer Robin Hunter Blake. All are partial to Church’s classic crown logo velvet loafers, but it is Savile Row’s bespoke shoemaker Arthur Sleep that has their heart.
