STRAIGHT OUTTA KOREA FOR THE ULTIMATE SUMMER SANDAL, SAYS CHICAGO STYLE QUEEN IKRAM GOLDMAN, LOOK TO THE FAR EAST. BY J.P. ANDERSON For the past decade-plus, Korean fashion brand Suecomma Bonnie has built up a passionate following among style-obsessed celebrities and fashionistas. That includes Ikram boutique owner Ikram Goldman, who has deemed the brand's sandals her must-have shoe for summer. Says Goldman, "I thought they looked casual, but also very interesting and fun visually. And then I tried them on, and they are like slippers—it's like wearing your favorite workout shoe, but it can be worn almost—almost— black-tie. This is the kind of shoe that you can put on and wear from morning till late night, as casual as going to drop off the kids at school, then going to work all day, then wearing them with a full ball gown skirt at night. "What I love about them for summer is that you don't have to wear flip-flops and look under- dressed; you can wear these, still feel comfortable, and feel like you're completely dressed in a shoe that's wonderful and casual and stylishly embellished." $315-$465 at Ikram, 15 E.
