Completed through the Capri Holdings x PLC Detroit Footwear Design Masterclass, a fast paced industry focused program introducing students to luxury footwear creation from concept to prototype.
For my project, I designed a two shoe collaboration between Michael Kors and Snow Peak centered on functional luxury for the young explorer. The first style is a hiking shoe with asymmetrical lacing for enhanced fit and comfortability. The second is a camping inspired Mary Jane built with a removable insulated sock suitable for hot or cold conditions. Both concepts use leather sourced from Michael Kors bag offcuts, emphasizing sustainability without diminishing quality. This collection speaks to adventurers who value elevated craftsmanship and a life spent experiencing the world on their own two feet.
