Step aside, Mona Lisa—Birkenstocks tried to take a step into the art world, but Germany’s high court wasn’t buying it—literally! This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we unpack the legal battle where Birkenstock argued their shoes were art, only to be told they’re just… shoes. (Ouch!) Love them or loathe them, the case had us wondering: when it comes to this iconic (yet divisive) footwear, is it frumpy or fabulous? And more broadly—is all fashion art, or just function?
Then, we trade footwear for follicles as Kat, "The Queen of Kutz" from Salon 8 in Bellevue joins us to talk Spring/Summer 2025 hair trends. Say goodbye to cool, icy tones and those trendy but tired mushroom blondes—this season, it’s all about warmth! Think sun-kissed soft blondes, rich chocolatey brunettes that add glow to your skin, and an effortless, polished vibe that says “put together” without screaming high maintenance.
As for the cut of the moment? The Pixie is back! With sharp lines that lift the face, it’s a bold, fresh look making waves. And for the gents? It’s all about intentional grooming—because looking effortlessly sharp takes a little strategy.
Tune in for style, sass, and expert hair tips that will keep you ahead of the trend curve. From Birkenstocks to blowouts, we’ve got you covered!
