“We were inspired by the Alpine world and its really plush hilltop gentleman’s clubs full of men smoking cigars,” said Louis Leeman, joint creative director of the brand with Erica Pelosini.
Highlights included luxuriant shearling-topped loafers and monkstrap/loafer hybrids with leather loops. Oxfords came with elastic laces or studded soles that recalled mountaineering gear, while sneakers featured Swarovski toe-caps that sparkled like ice crystals.
Evening wear was all about richly-embroidered slippers with patterns evoking kitschy winter knits, woven versions with satin and velvet patterns, and ones with striped details taken from the sleeve of a vintage rescue jacket.
