Mugler x Jimmy Choo Craft Strong and Dramatic Silhouettes in New Collab
info@hypebae.com (HYPEBAE) Wed, 09 Feb 2022 HYPEBAEInitially unveiled in Mugler's Fall/Winter 2021 digital collection film, the Mugler x Jimmy Choo collaboration has now been given an official release timeline.
Co-designed by the houses' respective creative directors -- Sandra Choi and Casey Cadwallader -- the range sees a variety of strong and dramatic designs that create a unique hybrid of two different aesthetics. "There’s an inherent connection there between the language of Mugler and the language of Jimmy Choo -- our roots in the 1990s, the resonance those have today with a younger generation, but the urge to update, to re-engineer and not just revive," Choi shared in a press release. "A shoe finishes the look and defines character. I have always associated Jimmy Choo with a very strong sense of sculpture in shoes, a balance of sharpness and curve," Cadwallader added.
The universal offerings focus on hues of black and nude, neon yellow, silver and gold. Inspired by Cadwallader’s high-octane Spiral and Illusion bodysuits, the JCXM Sock Boots arrive at ankle or over-the-knee length variations. Elsewhere, the JCXM Knee Sandal comes with liquid gold leather and metal chains, while the JCXM Pump boasts a gold chain on the ankle and arch. Encased in a Mugler stocking is the JCXM Sock Pump featuring a strap and crystal-studded exterior.
Take a closer look at the campaign above. Mugler x Jimmy Choo's collection is now available online and at select stores worldwide.
