Sneakers made a surprise appearance on the haute-couture runways the past few days.

I love sneakers, and now it seems the trend has jumped from the streets and onto the Spring 2014 couture runways: Raf Simons showed sneaks at Dior on Monday (black slip-ons, bejeweled with little flowers or stars), and Karl Lagerfeld followed suit at Chanel Tuesday (showing white lace and lilac sequined iterations).

When one thinks of couture, the word “comfort” does not readily come to mind. Maybe really, really rich women need to get places in hurry, just like the rest of us

Go look for sneakers!
