Ballet Flats & Ballet Shoes

About

KOI ballet flats and ballet shoes take a soft, girlish silhouette and decode it with a sharper edge. Balletcore gave us the ribbons, the rounded toes and the dancer's wardrobe. We added metal toe caps, cracked finishes, ruffle trims and a little darkness. Think pink lace-ups, glittery uppers and polka dot platforms that nod to coquette and Lolita references without playing it sweet. Styling is where the detail pays off. Pair ruffle Mary Janes with frilly socks and a pleated mini, or let black ballet flats with metal toes sharpen a slip dress. Every finish, from shimmer to cracked grey, tells you which era you're dressing from. Know the aesthetic, then bend it.
