Poise Mine Suede
Rupert Sanderson’s Pre-Fall 2015 collection brings out the literal sense of autumn, with a neutral yet melodious palette dipping in shades of autumnal berries, tobaccos, ferns and russet. Stride ahead this season in sleek flats with effortless-chic attitude. Incorporating embroidery in POISE and 50s black and white tweed effect leather in EDITH, these pointy flats transcend time and trend with sophisticated form and haute materials.
The geometric quilting and stitching techniques reminiscent of leather gloves and jackets are masterfully adopted on MONICA flats and TRUDY court heels. Laid across the toe and back quarter of the shoes, and contrasted by suedes and laminated nappa, these shoes redefine the norm of femininity with a tough-chic vibe.
Adding a touch of luxury by featuring fox fur on footwear like a stole – think sultry sex and the city and urban mystery – navigate Autumn nights in accented MIKIE sandals and double monk strap pointed RALPH flats. Bewitching and whimsical but strikingly femme fatale.
Subtle elements of sheerness continue the fairy-tale theme in MOONARA and SYBIL. Flocking on netting is used to illustrate spidery and abstract flora and fauna to a darker gothic effect. A contemporary feel is paralleled by an incredible sense of delicacy and intrigue.
Metallic levanto calf BILBAO booties and ROMANY take inspiration straight from the ‘Wild West’. These fierce pairs are outfit transforming staples – with new finishing on leather creating high impact and vogue-worthy statement, setting themselves apart from the rest by their boyish edge.
Conclude the boot story this fall with LAVINO booties and RIOTUS knee-high boots. Renowned for his ‘Less is more’ ethos, Sanderson showcased modern elegance with clean-lined silhouette and impeccable craftsmanship. These versatile pairs call to find the power of sartorial sophistication and the beauty of sheer simplicity.
