Developments: 2. Actor Alexander Skarsgård drew significant attention at the BFI London Film Festival premiere of his film ‘Wicker’ for wearing unconventional transparent PVC Oxford shoes from Saint Laurent’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection. The footwear, which leaves the feet fully visible, sparked mixed reactions on social media. While some praised the avant-garde aesthetic, others expressed discomfort regarding the practical implications of the design, such as comfort, sweat, and condensation. Skarsgård stated that he views press tours as an opportunity to experiment with bold fashion, noting that the choice was a way to challenge the idea that men should be hesitant to show their feet. The shoes, named ‘O. Fan.’ by designer Corrado De Biase, are reportedly a playful reference to the subscription platform OnlyFans. Creative directors at Saint Laurent described the design as a provocative response to modern digital obsessions intended to challenge traditional masculine fashion norms. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-11: Alexander Skarsgård draws attention with transparent Saint Laurent shoes Alexander Skarsgård made headlines at the London Film Festival wearing transparent Saint Laurent ‘O.
