The Chloe Sevigny Platform Sneakers Merge Laid Back Style with Chic Looks

— May 15, 2012 — Fashion
The Chloe Sevigny Platform Sneakers provide a twist to nostalgic 90s apparel. The classic Chuck Taylors are a staple of the generation's style, often paired with plaid and band t-shirts. This set of shoes takes the look one step further, or rather higher. A 1.75" rubber platform distinguishes these shoes from the rest, adding a feminine touch to what would otherwise be an androgynous piece.

These Sevigny sneakers are currently being sold in black and white and are made of standard canvas. The lace-up feature is fashioned of cotton and also features comfortable padding around the ankle.

Those wishing revisit or emulate bits of the past will welcome this genre of footwear. Sevigny has been known to work with retro themes, and her affinity for the grungy era is apparent here.

Trend Themes
1. Nostalgic Footwear - The rise of footwear that incorporates nostalgic elements from past eras creates opportunities for brands to tap into consumers' desire for sentimental fashion.
2. Feminine Platforms - The growing popularity of elevated platforms in women's shoes presents an opportunity for companies to create innovative designs that combine comfort, style, and empowerment.
3. Retro Chic - The resurgence of retro fashion, such as the 90s grunge aesthetic, offers a chance for brands to tap into consumers' nostalgia and create unique products that blend old and new.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Retail - Fashion retailers can capitalize on the trend of high-heeled runners by curating collections that include nostalgic footwear and retro-inspired designs.
2. Sportswear - Sportswear brands have the opportunity to innovate and create high-heeled runners that combine athletic functionality with fashion-forward design.
3. Streetwear - Streetwear brands can explore the high-heeled runner trend to create bold and unconventional styles that resonate with their target audience.
