Founded in Paris in 1947 by Rose Repetto, the footwear label began with ballet slippers for her son, choreographer Roland Petit, before building a reputation for everyday footwear like the Cendrillon flat.

Now, the brand embraces dance and movement again with In Bloom, a campaign and video created with American model turned actress, Kaia Gerber and directed by Neels Castillon, with choreography by Fanny Sage. Conceived by Gerber, the project developed over several months of dance training across Paris, Los Angeles and London, developing both the film and the accompanying capsule collection.

The collaboration offers two styles: The Kaia, an updated Cendrillon ballet flat in suede with a slightly lifted sole, available in black, classic blue, flame red, and pommard red. The Pina features a matte leather Mary Jane silhouette with a single strap and modest heel. Throughout, Repetto returns to its dance origins.
