IF there’s one thing to remember from ’90s coming-of-age classic “Clueless” — besides the film’s many iconic one-liners — it’s the fashion. From cheetah print and plaid to platforms and fur, all of the film’s trends are back in Crocs’ new collaboration that pays homage to the cult-favorite movie, which was based on Jane Austen’s classic novel “Emma.” Launching exclusively on Zappos, the Crocs x Clueless collection (US$35-65) is an ode to the characters of the teen comedy: Cher, Dionne, Tai and Amber. The Cher shoes call upon the character’s iconic yellow plaid outfit combo with a silver chain embellishment, while incorporating a platform into the classic Croc look. The Dionne is a classic clog with a black plaid design, while the Amber style includes a fuzzy lining and leopard print. Lastly, the Tai is perfect for lounging at home in easy, slip-in classic slides in blue. “Clueless” and Crocs lovers alike can also glam up their shoes with film-inspired Jibbitz charm packs (US$25) inspired by the four characters. Crocs have seen resurgence in popularity, even after the company closed all of its factories and North American stores in 2018. Luxury designers including Christopher Kane and Balenciaga as well as musicians Justin Bieber, Post Malone and Bad Bunny are just a few of the shoe brand’s collaborators, and Alan Cummings once walked the red carpet in the foam footwear.(SD-Agencies) |
