LOUIS LEEMAN AW16 MENS FOOTWEAR

The AW16 collection takes inspiration from the world of Alpine Gentlemen’s Clubs, with their elegance, special atmosphere and intimate mood.

This sets the scene for the collection, with snow-clad mountains and white forests creating the perfect peaceful landscape to taste fine spirits and smoke precious cigars.

The metal detailing and embellishments designed for the collection evoke vintage mountain boots, whilst the laces are robust like alpine ropes.

Small pearl stones are hand-applied on slippers, looking like crystals of iced snow.

Alpine landscapes are hand-embroidered on soft silk.

Shining Swarovskis adorning shoes are reminiscent of winter sweater designs.

The presentation was held at the Hotel Cafe Royal with an alpine scene created in the ornately gilded Pampadour Suite.

Louis Leeman AW15 men's footwear collection ‏

Titled 'Enlisting and Resisting' the AW15 footwear collection was inspired by the Navy world – a world that has always been associated to the main traits of manhood: bravery, strength , pride, discipline and elegance. 

Uniforms, battle ships, medals and military ranks are all elements that influenced the collection.

Colour palette recalls the crisp navy blue and white uniforms, 

The classic mix of jungle green to the khaki service colours: 

A splash of plaid and a staple of the utilitarian vision of surplus, camouflage:

The chevron design represents symbols of honour and rank, luxurious in velvet:

 The metallic hardware recalls military decorations and fierce weaponry.

Rope tassels recall the sailing knots and the epaulettes adorned on the shoulders of decorated officers.

 Polka dots & squares interpret the boats radar, essential navigation and combat operation planning.

The highest ideals of duty, loyalty, courage and commitment, this is the spirit of the AW15 collection.
