Givenchy's New Sliced Square Ballerina: A Cut Above Fashion

21 September 2025

By The Fashion Editorial Team

In a bold reimagining of 50s couture elegance, Sarah Burton's latest Fall/Winter collection saw a new statement shoe: the Sliced Square Ballerina from Givenchy. This modern masterwork takes its cue from de-stitched archives of Hubert de Givenchy's iconic dresses, where delicate silhouettes were painstakingly dissected to reveal intricate textures.

The result is a sleek, avant-garde ballerina that strips away excess ornamentation. The innovative design features a sliced front panel, which imbues the classic silhouette with an edgy, architectural quality. To complete this look, the signature Givenchy label cinches the top of the foot with an elastic band — a thoughtful nod to the Parisian maison's signature style. This attention to detail serves as a reminder of Givenchy's enduring commitment to elegance and refinement.

The Sliced Square Ballerina comes in three distinct iterations: matte black patent specchio leather, fiery red metallic leather, or burnished silver mirror finish. Each iteration boasts an unwavering sense of sophistication, tempered only by its unapologetic modernity.

Available exclusively for now through select retailers and online at givenchy.com.
