Animal Print Oxfords

Bal and George Cox Collaborate for Some Awesome Leopard Oxfords

— April 28, 2011 — Fashion
English shoemaker George Cox has been making shoes for over 100 years. This brand's authentic styling and attributes are found in all of its footwear collections. Its latest pair of oxfords are very unique and a collaborative effort with Japanese clothing designer Bal.

Together, Bal and George Cox combined authenticity and class with modern and eccentric styling. These one-of-a-kind oxfords may take some courage to wear, however, as they boast an elegant and bright leopard print exterior.

The Bal and George Cox Leopard Oxford even features a special synthetic material on the exterior that makes it look and feel like real animal hair. The shoes sit on a hand-crafted sole for ultimate comfort and durability, which is to be expected from these supreme fashion designers.
Trend Themes
1. Animal Print Fashion - The increasing interest in animal print clothing and accessories provides an opportunity for fashion designers to integrate animal prints with classic designs for a unique and stylish look.
2. Collaborative Fashion Design - As seen with Bal and George Cox, collaborations between fashion designers and manufacturers can create one-of-a-kind fashion pieces that reflect both parties and offer something new in the market.
3. Synthetic Material Innovation - The use of synthetic materials that mimic real animal hair in fashion production provides opportunities to create ethical and sustainable products that enhance the overall quality and look.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion and Apparel Industry - Fashion designers, manufacturers, and retailers can take advantage of the growing interest in unique styles such as the collaboration between Bal and George Cox to reach new customers and differentiate from competitors.
2. Textile Industry - The growth in synthetic materials that mimic animal hair provides new opportunities for the textile industry to develop innovative and sustainable manufacturing methods for the fashion industry.
3. Footwear Industry - The footwear industry can take advantage of animal print fashion trends by integrating the pattern into classic designs, creating new and attractive shoes that meet the demands of this growing market.
