Yves Saint nal silhouettes with contemporary detailing
The Knee Boot Designers are pushing higher boot silhouettes for A/W. Thick outsoles are base for wide round constructions and juxtaposed with slim-fitting shafts. Lace-up styles pay homage to the punk era with 20-eye silhouettes and brogueing details. Ombré effect uppers stand out in vegetable dyed hides. Traditional riding pattern uppers emerge in crocodile prints and cap toe details.
Court Rules Classic court sneakers become a staple. Round toe, vulcanized constructions are key. Mixed materials remain important; leather and suede combos are strongest. Quilted fabric upper details emerge feature high-top silhouettes and Velcro closures. Performance-inspired uppers are toned down for a sophisticated feel in neutral white, grey and black combinations.
Ahtletic Couture The Loafer lasts evoke city influences in slate grey burnished uppers and white washed made their way onto the runway in seasonal navy and oxblood tones. White vulcanized outsoles remain key. Lace-less uppers look fresh in high-gloss waxed uppers. Ribbed outsoles emerge creating surface interest. Speed-lacing details remain strong.
The Peasant Hiker Traditional hiking silhouettes get even more rugged for the A/W season. Chalky clay tones stand out in soft, pleated uppers. Pebble surface leathers are brightened with raw edge finishing. Leather belts substitute laces creating a new mountaineer look. Woven nylon laces are showcased in exaggerated corseted uppers and combined with trident clips for a nod to utility.
Galoshes All-weather functional items emerge for the next season. Thigh-high rubberized boots make an impact recalling true Fisherman’s hip boots. Leather versions of the hip boots emerge in pieced uppers with contrast stitching. True galoshes remain classic in dark navy hues. Luxe updates include embossed monograms on vamp and velvet binding trim.
