Would you wear Crocs?
FASHION can be a fickle beast and the latest it-shoe is stoking widespread debate: Crocs are back. The brightly coloured, hole-speckled clogs are enjoying a renaissance, spotted everywhere from the Oscars red carpet to making star-studded cameos in TikTok videos.
How on earth did this happen? Some blame the demand for laidback lockdown attire, others suggest it can be credited to a raft of high-profile collaborations and brand ambassadors (rapper Post Malone and actor Priyanka Chopra to name a couple). Once considered a terrible fashion faux pas, sales of Crocs soared in the first three months of the year. The company s revenues climbed by 64 per cent in the first quarter, reaching a record $460 million (£331m).
