If the words quiet luxury, minimalism or understated pique your interest, then you’re probably a fan of The Row. Since its inception, the brand has stood firm in its aesthetic—simple pieces, focused on proportion and timelessness. Immediately, the fashion world took note. Through passing trends and fleeting viral products, The Row’s core designs have held their own, and whilst the designs are pared-back, void of logos or branding, in-the-know fashion people can spot them a mile off. Now, one of its signature pieces has been restocked, and already fashion people and celebrities are wearing The Row Stella Ballet Flats on repeat.
Whilst all of The Row’s creations fly out of stock almost immediately, it’s the accessories that intrigue me the most. I could spend hours talking through the extensive It bag collection, from the treasured Marlo to the playful Peggy clutch, any of which would be a welcome addition to my handbag collection. The designs inevitably spark a thousand copies, and the same goes for its footwear. The zipped ankle boots launched in 2019 created their own trend cycle, and the brand’s elasticated ballet flats cemented the return of a style that had been overlooked for many years.
From the success of the ballet flats came another style, the Stella. Unlike the original, which followed classic features of a ballet shoe, the Stella brought a more contemporary edge, removing the elasticated strap, softening the round toe and hiking up the vamp to create a truly refined pair of shoes that instantly became a sell-out success. Fashion people and celebrities quickly added this staple style to their wardrobes and have been wearing it on repeat ever since.
With autumn on the horizon, it’s almost time to store away our summer sandals and reach for something a little more perennial—the Stella ballet flats. Pairing seamlessly with jeans, tailoring, dresses and more, these investment shoes have versatility at their core, and with a refined design and understated appeal be able to hold their place in our wardrobes for years to come.
