I was honoured to bring this collaboration between John Fluevog and Comme des Garçons to reality. The chunky wooden platform boot explores the beauty of raw materials while playfully reshaping the language of footwear. Its bumpy rounded toe and exaggerated curved wooden platform push the familiar silhouette into a more sculptural and expressive form and space, while honoring the deep tradition of craftsmanship that both brands share. Seeing the design walk the Comme des Garçons FW26 runway during Paris Fashion Week is a beautiful moment where craft, imagination, and two independent creative spirits come together. — Arabella Barros, Fluevog Creative DirectorCollaborating with wonderfully creative people and passionate organizations dedicated to similar authentic expression always feels less like work and more like purpose. We're so excited to work with Comme des Garçons for the second time and we hope everyone enjoys the collection as much as we do. Stay tuned for more news, Fluevogers.
