The divisive Tabi boot has become a staple of the art and fashion worlds, found appearing on the feet of creatives or sitting on display as decorative sculpture. A deep dive into the enduring icon, here:

The creative director Sidney Prawatyotin, who runs the popular fashion meme Instagram account @siduations, purchased a too-tight women’s version in black before the house started releasing the style in men’s sizes a few years ago. “I didn’t really wear them, I just held onto them. To me, they’re like sculptures, you know?” Prawatyotin says. “They look like a piece of art.” Instead, he installed them on a low shelf. “They were too precious for me to place on the floor.
“The Tabi holds flowers like a leg slipping into the boot,” Rose says. “I feel like you could definitely do a wonderful Ikebana in a Tabi boot.” For Rose, the Tabi is ripe for experimentation and re-invention. “I really enjoy this translation of taking something that was in one world but bringing it to another,” she mused.
“She’s mad about [the shoe]. She wears them every day, all day, no matter which situation,” said Garbugli of his girlfriend, who was in the studio making new pieces when we connected on Zoom. “So, parties, dinners, working on the vases, taking the dog out. It’s a simple idea. It has a selective audience. It’s really something just for the fans.”Courtesy of Ying Chang
