The Balenciaga Toe

October 20, 2020

Balenciaga collaborates with Italian footwear brand Vibram to create the Balenciaga Toe. Vibram is known for its FiveFingers shoes, which fit a flexible sole onto the foot, separating each toe and allowing for better tactical efficiency.

The Balenciaga Toe consists of two limited-edition sneaker styles and a high-heeled style, each made sustainably from recycled knits. The Balenciaga Toe Sock, available in carmine red or black, and the Balenciaga Toe Lace Up, available in black, rest on a heavy-duty suspension heel. The Balenciaga Heeled Toe, available in neon pink or black, features a sculpted block heel. Each Balenciaga Toe is fitted with a five-toed foam insole and hugs the foot to provide support. The collaborations are stamped with signature Vibram and Balenciaga logos along the edge of the foot right above the fivefingers.

Kartlis Deda: Lettonne's NYC Debut

March 07, 2026

Kartlis Deda, also known as the Mother of Georgia, served as the overarching muse for LETTONNE’S first-ever runway show. The monument shows a woman carrying a glass of wine in one hand while dawning a sword in the other. The friction between these two forces serves as a symbol of the dichotomy of women. Garments have the power to protect, conceal, and strengthen. They can be symbols of femininity or defiance. Blending these contradicting forces together, the collection showcases the ways in which they can balance.

LETTONNE is a brand founded in New York City and born out of some of the most crucial elements of club culture. Freedom of expression, a tight-knit sense of community, and a driving curiosity for what’s to come have all infiltrated the designs gracing the runway. Leaning into these fixtures, the designers utilize harsh materials and the feminine form to experiment and remix into a contemporary and fashion-forward context.
