Retro is in with the Bernardo “Brad” ballet flat
Like a plutonium powered Delorean fixed with a flux capacitor, the eighties are back.
Zooming towards us across the pavement, followed by streaks of flames, is the Bernardo “Brad” ballet flat.
These flats are made of vinyl like the forgotten LP, feature a chunky buckle like some kind of boy toy belt, and are adorned with an animal print like the tight, tight pants of some rock star whose ego is almost as big as his hair.
I can feel my bangs getting puffier by the minute.
There’s no denying that retro is in, and there’s nothing wrong with that. The wonderful thing about reviving yesterday’s pop culture is that you get to correct the mistakes we made the first time around - like leg warmers, shoulder pads and Wham!
These shoes are the perfect 2007 incarnation of the eighties ballet flat. The oversized buckle is flattering and doesn’t overwhelm the simplicity of the shoe. They’re comfortable and go with almost anything - you can dress them up or down, left or right. These shoes are versatile - the key to all the best wardrobes.
The Brad ballet flat comes in other colors if you find animal prints too loud, and they even come in soft, black leather if the slick, shiny vinyl isn’t your thing. They’re even elasticized for the best fit.
So celebrate the eighties with this fashionable shoe - and everybody wang chung tonight.
