Malone Souliers crafts classic footwear and bags that focus on innovative design, enduring style, and the perfect fit. And today, it has announced an exciting and exclusive shoe collaboration with Tabitha Simmons.
This sees the stylist and fashion editor bring her design experience to the brand, working alongside Malone Souliers’ Co-Creative Directors, Coco Fong and Valerio Bava, for a collection that celebrates an organic synergy between the two female-founded, British brands.
Nodding to Tabitha Simmons’ iconic brand DNA and stylishly merging it with Malone Souliers’ signature design codes it has resulted in fun, fresh, and timeless pieces, that have been made to be cherished for a lifetime. Tabitha Simmons’ much-loved shoe collections are defined by their English eclecticism and charm, and these qualities have informed this new offering. As expected, close attention has been given to the finest fabrics, imaginative detailing, and the perfect fit.
“Working with Tabitha felt like such a natural step for us. This partnership is about lovers of footwear coming together to create the ultimate, irresistible shoe capsule. The pieces highlight a harmony between Tabitha’s inimitable design preferences and our own signature brand details,” says Coco Fong and Valerio Bava, Co-Creative Directors, at Malone Souliers. Tabitha Simmons adds, “Working with Coco and Valerio on this project was a complete joy. I have loved revisiting my archives and this collaboration really showcases our combined DNA”.
The campaign showcases the shoes as focal points, set against pastel settings that create an inspiring narrative; the silhouettes draw upon iconic shapes synonymous with the Tabitha Simmons brand and have then been playfully reimagined by Coco and Valerio/ Here, think sleek mules, sweet ballet pumps, and kitten heels donning textured and patterned jacquard, as well as whimsical bow embellishments highlighting a theme of sexy sumptuousness.
The Cameron slingback is enveloped in satin and defined with floral crystal decoration, that has been arranged to resemble brogue-inspired detailing. In net mesh, Liberty puts a textural spin on a classic pump and is adorned with ribbon. Another head-turner is the Kate, a Mary-Jane flat pump, reminiscent of one of Tabitha Simmons’ most popular silhouettes.
The Malone Souliers x Tabitha Simmons Collection launches exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman today.
