The collection is explored in a short fashion film called PHWOARRR, and recruits the help of British footwear label George Cox for the range. Jeffrey's tartan design is featured on the mudguards of the ‘D-ring Creeper’ loafer's black leather upper, which surrounds contrasting woven toe boxes. The shoe’s [chunky platform soles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noir-kei) complete the design while fringed buckles appear at the midpoints. Moreover, the ‘Creeper’ boots have a smooth leather exterior and similar design elements. The high-top boot wears golden ring eyelets above a neck strap embellished with silver sun and moon charms, while the toe boxes are textured and rest atop the sole sections.
