The Langley Fox Hemingway socks by Stance were created in collaboration with the great-granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway, who also happens to be an extremely talented model and illustrator.
The Langley Fox x Stance collection features four different socks that were drawn by Langley Fox Hemingway, taking cues from archery, crows, eyes and florals. The simple collection is made mostly from a basic scheme of blacks and whites, so that the stylish prints can seamlessly be integrated into outfits without being too overbearing. Each of the poetic socks bears a unique backstory and inspiration, such as the "Sweet smell of roses mixed with still-damp ink." With a combination of the fantastical and the romantic, these stylish socks are an artful way to keep your feet warm this fall and winter.
