Nope, I'm not going to be speaking about the animal the mule. Instead, I'll be speaking about the mules that are on nearly every third pair of feet in New York City. I was walking into a meeting the other day, which is when I got the idea for this post, and began counting and looking - it was a lot of mules. And, for this trend, mules are not just for the ladies, men are enjoying this trend as well. So, how did the rise of the mules happen?

Well, we can thank Gucci - specifically Alessandro Michele, creative director of the Italian brand.
Although I can't recall the exact publication I read it in, as it was a bit ago, the article spoke to how Alessandro had took the classic Gucci mule - he had worked for the brand for years before he was appointed creative director - and added fur to the inside. He did this on his own, without a thought to bring it into the world of Gucci. He was simply doing it for his own pleasure at the time. When he became appointed creative director, he was then able to share that design with the world. And, the fashion world responded enthusiastically.

It is often said imitation is the best form of flattery. In Alessandro and Gucci's case, they should feel extremely flattered. It's safe to say mules are popping up around the globe, from fast-fashion to mass market to big box retailers. Mules are everywhere! Granted not all have the fur, but they are all inspired by Alessandro.
What do you think about the rise of mules? Will you be looking to purchase any?
