The creation of mary-janes in the early 1950s, aimed to fulfill the simple necessity for a formal and classy children’s shoe. Although the shoe surpassed expectations by becoming a permanent item of the popular culture! Nowadays, both luxury fashion houses and emerging labels have helped to dust off the mary-jane shoe and bring it back into fashion for a wider range of ages.

The french brand Nodaleto is a specialist in this area. Dua Lipa was one of the first to wear the Nodaleto’s collaboration with Marc Jacobs’s. She opted for the tartan lug-sole Bulla Reis, an architectural approach with its cool chunky heel and platform silhouette.

Another reason for the silhouette’s current popularity could be because of its versatility. Mary-janes can effortlessly be paired with so many different types of outfits, from dresses and skirts, to your favorite pants. In both casual and more sophisticated looks. We suggest you to wear them alone in the summer season, and in winter opt for layer with a pair of socks under the shoe!
