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.~~ 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.
