Perhaps one of the most highly anticipated drops in February is the luxurious footwear collaboration between famed streetwear creative Virgil Abloh and British label Jimmy Choo. The high-end shoe designs include stiletto pump silhouettes, as well as knee- and shin-high boots.
The luxurious footwear is incredibly diverse in materials and independent in style. While some heel designs boast a princess-like vibe with bejeweled statement detailing, others rely on a strappy aesthetic and see-through fabrics. The boots, on the other hand, are bold and eye-catching, boasting bold red and transparent finishes, watercolor-inspired flower illustrations, as well as a more skin-tonal silhouette with a black chiffon layer.
The Off-White x Jimmy Choo luxurious footwear collaboration successfully combines the external fluidity of streetwear with the high-class status of couture fashion.
