GCDS and Clarks work together to launch its first-ever collaborative capsule together, made specifically for the Fall/Winter 2022 season. It was shown on the runways in Milan and highlights two original models that are timeless. It includes a mule silhouette and another that has a chunky platform base foundation.
The exclusive capsule highlights dynamic and extended proportions of the shoes. The mule is made with a rounded toe shape and has a wide fastening strap with a silver buckle. The loafer has a stacked base and heavy trimming that creates bold lines around the shoe. Both of the models are detailed with daring updates including distressed leather materials, fuzzy leopard prints, and a special Hello Kitty monogram.
