London-based Chinese-born fashion designer Feng Chen Wang unveils her latest work for the Spring/Summer 2024 season with a highlight on the Crocs collaboration. It is full of co-ed looks that were presented during Paris Fashion Week earlier this year.
This is the first time that the brand is working with Crocs, reimagining footwear styles for a futuristic approach to the Crocs' Echo Clog and Siren Clog. Both of these embody a transformative look as the Eho Clog is designed with perforated black leather materials throughout the upper. It is then detailed with silver Feng Chen Wang pins and a detachable ankle cuff to give the illusion that it is a boot. The SIron Clog has a heeled look with platform sole units and strapped details.
