Chic Scandinavian-Inspired Shooes

Engineered Garments and Tarvas Create the Tarvas Forest Bather

— January 11, 2023 — Fashion
The Tarvas Forest Bather silhouette is a strikingly stylish and comfortable-looking shoe that was made possible through a collaboration between the ENGINEERED GARMENTS designer Daiki Suzuki and the Finnish footwear specialist Tarvas.

For the piece, the collaborators drew inspiration from "the forests, lakes, and mountains of Scandinavia." They also wholeheartedly embraced the hiker aesthetic—a style that has been gaining in popularity in the high-end streetwear industry for quite some time now.

The Tarvas Forest Bather mixes soft faux fur and suede for its upper. With various technical features such as the non-slip sole touts and the reflective detailing, the ENGINEERED GARMENTS x Tarvas release is meant to encourage individuals to embark on "long outdoor excursions and adventures."
