Snapped by Tommy Ton: “This is the outfit of the season”
“The moment I saw Veronika, it immediately clicked in my head: ‘this is the outfit of the season.’ From what I’ve been seeing across the board, comfort has really been on people’s minds, and this for me was the perfect balance of comfort and fashion. It captures the mood of how women in fashion are dressing now. And the way she put it together—the Altuzarra wrap skirt with a turtleneck, tights and then obviously the sneakers—pretty much sums up this whole idea of Normcore and comfort that everybody’s been talking about. It’s funny, because it’s almost a take on the commuter look: women wearing sneakers with a skirt suit or pantsuit, which would normally make me cringe, but there’s something about it that’s so right now. People who typically would never be seen wearing flats in public are now fully wearing sneakers to shows. Even Parisian editors who you’d assume would be wearing sky-high stiletto heels are wearing Nikes. But they’re not changing the way they dress, the footwear is the only thing that’s changed. I think people are just being realistic—you can’t go to shows from 9 in the morning until 8 at night wearing stilettos. You need to be comfortable, but also very forward at the same time.”
