"    WHEN YOU HEAR THE WORD BIRKENSTOCK, long-haired, &amp;#039;60s flower children come to mind. But one look at model Andreea Diaconu, who was photographed riding a bicycle in last spring&amp;#039;s most-talked-about shoe (C\u00E9line&amp;#039;s fur-lined Birkenstock), shows the iconic two-strap sandal has gone from granola to glam. In fact, the Birkenstock is no longer just a brand name but a style of its own. Once considered a fashion faux pas reserved for tree huggers, it has been reimagined by the hippest (not hippie-est) of designers\u2014Givenchy&amp;#039;s Riccardo Tisci and Giambattista Valli and, of course, Phoebe Philo at C\u00E9line\u2014and approved by the industry&amp;#039;s elite.
