You say ballet pump, I say Amy Winehouse. Of her many accolades, Winehouse can be thanked for transforming the delicate silken slipper into something rugged and edgy.

Courtesy of Miu Miu, the shape is back on the runway and being deftly copied by our favourite high street stores. Rather than being the graceful silhouettes of yore, this season they’ve become scrappy, buckle and hardier with proper soles and no square toes. Get on board with the trend now…
