This week, the Buro Must-Have list shines the spotlight on the Givenchy Sliced Square Ballerina shoes.
Forget dainty. Givenchy’s new Sliced Square ballerina is proof that flats can bite just as hard as heels. Pulled straight from Sarah Burton’s Fall/Winter 2025 runway, the shoe riffs on the house’s 1950s couture archives. Hubert de Givenchy’s cocktail dresses of the era were famously cinched and sculpted. Burton sliced them short for a modern edge, and the ballerina follows the same logic. Its squared-off toe looks like it’s been cut clean with a blade, turning a ballet flat into something far more architectural.
Then comes the strap: a simple elastic band stamped with the GIVENCHY Paris label. It’s a clever nod to the grosgrain belts that once cinched couture waists, reimagined here as a functional detail across the foot. It’s history turned into hardware.
The palette is just as deliberate. Think black and powder patent leather for everyday polish, red for a bolder step, or metallic silver and gold mirror leather when the night calls for shine. Each pair keeps the house’s DNA intact while making a case for flats that feel anything but quiet.
The Sliced Square ballerina isn’t simply a runway souvenir. It’s a modern uniform piece—comfortable, water-repellent, and sharp enough to hold its own next to any stiletto.
