We are living in a fashion world full of cores. From the OGs like gorpcore and normcore and unusual ones like clowncore and fairycore to pop culture-inspired Barbiecore and mermaidcore, there are many “cores” to describe the way we dress today and it looks like we are about to revisit an old one.
During the past fashion festivities, ballet flats or ballerinas were seen on the runway and the streets. Brands such as Loewe and Versace presented their take on the iconic footwear. While Fashion Week attendees like actress Sophie Turner and Filipino fashion influencer Camille Co were seen rocking them as they went around New York. If you also want to step into the world of balletcore, we are listing below ballerina shoes crafted by local brands that could easily fit your daily ensembles.
Andanté
Footwear brand Andanté recently launched its line of flats, featuring Mary Janes, doll pumps, and, of course, ballet flats.
