Peter Copping - Designer, Creative Director of Lanvin

Balenciaga shoes are exactly what Gucci under Alessandro sneakers were: something fashion people had fun with for about three months till they ended up at Canal Street and on the feet of every Chav. It just screams try-hard, tacky and “sold everything else I had on my house to be able to afford these”.
 
I mean come on’ people. He got them for free. He worked in the studio for years. So of course his perception on those is totally different from the mass that had to buy them because they were fashionable or in order to fit in some sort of trend.
And they are maybe just « comfortable » to him.
 
When your portrait is taken by the Financial Times HTSI and the article is about your debut collection for LANVIN—with models in the background wearing LANVIN—yet the most attention-seeking element of the picture is a big white Balenciaga sneaker paired with red socks, it’s more than questionable; it’s just silly.
 
I love dad sneakers, they’re cozy and comfortable (yeah I’m not a stylish person). Those might be fugly to some ppl but for me, they are timeless.
