Is maximalism making a comeback with footwear?

Looks like we are revisiting over-the-top embellishments, unconventional structures, and gaudy footwear alongside the parallel flood-ins of Mary Jane's, kitten heels, and slouchy boots. From fuzzy boots as witnessed in Copenhagen Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2024 to the Lev Puffer Mule for KNWLS and Kurt Geiger X Crocs for Simon Rocha at the London Fashion Week Summer/Spring 2024—gradually maximalist footwear is making a comeback. Generally associated with Avant Garde Fashion, these footwear are known for their exaggerated silhouettes and eclectic appeal. Maximalism emphasizes extravagance, facilitating unique visual appeal that invites experimental personalisation alongside the lines of pairing and accessorising. Debuting their way into the Marc Jacobs Ready to Wear Collection as well, these chunky footwear are here to stay.
