Recently, I was involved in a conversation about ballet flats with a fellow fashion friend, where we were discussing which we were partial to. Wearing my favorite Chanels, I also mentioned my new found appreciation for the Balenciaga button ballets. She mentioned Repetto, the famous French ballet company. Familiar with the brand, they always seemed flimsy to me. Would they hold up to NYC streets? Later that same day, in an interview for Jay-Z’s new site Life + Times, Garance Doré listed Repetto ballerina’s as her "go-to item of clothing". Looks like I am going to be adding to my ballet flat repertoire.
