Kiko Kostadinoc works in collaboration with Camper on producing a collection of formal footwear designs that are reworked to push new boundaries. The Camper will be dropping the selection as a part of its Fall/Winter 2019 selection, highlighting three menswear styles across two different Camper structures -- the Teix and the Deia.
The Teix is a motorcycle style boot silhouette and it brings formal footwear to an angle that explores industrial looks and edgy styles. The Deia is softer in structure, lined with soft premium Italian leather materials and boasts a moccasin style to bring a sense of retro aesthetics as well. Additional details include the GORE-TEX lining on the Teix, delivering waterproof sensibilities on top of its multiple layered leather uppers. The Deia is complete with a rounded toe for an overall softer look.
