IT'S A TREND WE LOVE. It's called luxe utilitarian; fashion pieces at the crossroads of luxury and workwear or military wear. And perhaps the best manifestation of this trend in footwear is the latest collaboration between Cat Footwear and Nigel Cabourn, which will grace retailers from 15 October onwards.
For those who are unfamiliar with Cabourn's work, this will be a great introduction to the British fashion designer's signature vintage- and military-inspired style, which is defined by the frequent use of fabrics such as Harris tweed and Ventile. While Cabourn first shot to fame for his outerwear, his footwear has been noteworthy, especially through collaborations such as this one with Cat Footwear. While he initially built a cult following, the timeless appeal of his designs has resulted in Cabourn becoming a household name in Japan and parts of Europe.
