Matthew M. Williams has infused his design expertise into the core of Givenchy since taking over as the Creative Director and his latest project is the Monumental Mallow silhouette. The fashion designer delivers a set of footwear for the Fall Season spotlighting avant-garde themes.
The shoes arrive in two options: it includes a lot-top cut or a high-top cut. The high-top iteration has a sock liner at the collar made from mesh for a stark contrast and look. It is made with a smooth matte rubber material at the base foundation complete with a cream tonal distressed look. It is marked with sculptural lines for a textural look and complete with branding details. The low-cut boasts a similar look to a chunky clog with tonal options of black, matte brown, or matte black.
