Flat shoes can either give you life or zap it away as fast as Superman downing a Kryptonite cocktail. I’m not one for going heel-less, but I can see where Kate Moss was coming from when she ordered eight pairs from a new Italian brand you’ve not heard of yet. She—queen of ballet pumps—has shifted her allegiance to a niche and unexpected style indeed. Forget brogues and say so long to loafers… The supermodel’s new casual footwear collection is made up of cute pairs from ViBi Venezia, a brand founded by sisters Viola and Vera Arrivabene and based on a souped-up version of classic gondolier slippers. Yes, you read that correctly: gondolier slippers. I didn’t know the gondolieri wore specific shoes, you say. But it’s true that even in 2017, there are still some classic pieces that have not yet been touched by high-fashion hands.
