ON POINTE: LONDON-BASED DESIGNERS TRANSFORM BALLET SHOES

Erdem, Rejina Pyo and Roksanda are among the designers tasked with taking a standard-issue slipper and transforming it into something unmistakably their own. Go see for yourself…

Halpern’s featured a fan of concertinaed fuchsia fabric and Liberty wrapped theirs up in floral ribbon. Roksanda Ilinčić’s was painted in over-bright colours with broad brushstrokes, and Erdem’s, fancy and theatrical, is inky black and adorned with crystals.
