The Maison Margiela Tabi unlocked a new level of mainstream popularity when Gen Z popstar Olivia Rodrigo donned a pair of black 30mm heeled ballet pumps on Monday.
When Belgian designer Martin Margiela first released the split-toe Tabi silhouette in 1988, he dipped the soles in red paint and sheathed the runway in white gauze; ensuring the cloven footprints left a haunting mark. “It’s for a tiny group of women, and not everyone will like it,” Margiela reportedly said after his second show in 1989. “It’s important to do what you want and there will always be some people who agree.
This week, Tabis unlocked a new level of mainstream popularity when Gen Z popstar Olivia Rodrigo donned a pair of black 30mm heel ballet pumps. In a paparazzi photo snapped on Monday, Rodrigo delicately maneuvers her dainty shoes across an unforgiving cobbled London street. It was one small step for the “good 4 u” singer, one giant leap for the cultural awareness of Maison Margiela. Rodrigo isn’t the only twenty-something It Girl who has been spotted in the split-toe flats lately.
