- Designer JW Anderson's Wellipets Frog Clogs are all over Fashion Week this year.
- They hearken back to the frog Wellington boots Princes Harry and William wore in the '80s and '90s.
A nostalgic shoe trend is all over Fashion Week events this year, hearkening back to the frog Wellington boots that Princess Diana dressed Prince William and Prince Harry in during the '80s and '90s.
In January, UK label JW Anderson debuted a line of Wellipets Frog Clogs as part of its Fall/Winter collection at Milan Fashion Week, pairing the rubber loafers with high-fashion trench coats and sleek suits.
The clogs, which have frog faces complete with yellow eyes and red mouths, were inspired by designer Jonathan Anderson's "fond childhood memories," according to the Wellipets website.
The iconic frog Wellipets were also a childhood staple for many other kids in the '80s and '90s — including Prince William and Prince Harry. Princess Diana dressed her young sons in the boots on several occasions, including a visit to the Cirencester Park Polo Club in 1987.
Guests at Milan Fashion Week's Spring/Summer runway shows earlier this month have also been spotted wearing JW Anderson's take on the expressive shoes.
The designer clogs retail for $510 and come in green, yellow, and blue.
