WHAT: Tired of sky-high stilettos that no mere mortal can last more than an hour in? The fashion houses seem to have felt the same for Spring Summer 2013 when they added sneakers to their runway show repertoire. Francesca Rubino matched Moschino Cheap and Chic’s dizzy rainbow-coloured parade with equally fun colour-blocked trainers. Over at Ashish, the rebellious schoolgirl went grunge complete with ’80s white sneakers.
