In the vein of our upcoming holiday weekend, it’s hard not to share these fabulous sneakers from Saint Laurent. Amusingly, they’re French, not American, though they carry the essence of American patriotism that’s also reminiscent of Wonder Woman…right? Super fun, yet a serious splurge.
Enjoy the long holiday weekend in whatever sneakers you may or may not be wearing and happy 4th to you all!
As designers, strategists, merchandisers and buyers, we see inspiration all the time. If you’re anything like me, you have magazine tears all over your office and home – tacked to moodboards and stacked in piles on your kitchen table. We collect, hoard, and piece together stories, waiting for the final puzzle piece to transition an idea into action. Most of the time, an idea’s come to fruition after a folder’s been filled with random (yet not-so-random), disparate imagery.
Today’s pieces, which are void of color (specifically red, white and blue), come from a Saint Laurent ad, a dress pattern from Tel Aviv, and an illustration I found on Pinterest. The movement through line is interesting- specifically through the varied application: beading, shapes and storytelling. The vibe is timeless and a reminder of what’s current in both high and mass production.
