The Sliced Square ballerina is directly connected to the creative direction of Sarah Burton’s Fall 2025 collection. The design philosophy reinterprets a classic ballerina flat by altering its structure through a distinctive cut at the toe box. This results in a geometric, square-shaped opening. This architectural modification is intended to impart a contemporary edge to a traditionally soft and familiar silhouette.
The Sliced Square ballerina is also characterized by an elastic strap across the instep, a feature that is described as a stylistic echo of the belted details found on the accompanying runway garments. The shoe is offered in a selection of finishes, including both classic and vibrant patent leathers, as well as metallic options with a reflective quality.
