Posted by Clarks Originals has tapped young Dutch designer Daniëlle Cathari for its latest collaboration. The Amsterdam-based designer is known for ‘complementing’ contrasts’ with her playful take on femininity and subversive twist on classic designs. Cathari brings her unique talents to a legendary silhouette, reimagining the Wallabee in seven new shades.
“As a frequent Wallabee wearer, it would only make sense to partner with Clarks Originals on a footwear collab. Since the shoe is such a wardrobe staple, I wanted to create 7 unique colourways in my very own colour palette – one for each day of the week”, says Cathari.
For the campaign, Cathari styles each colourway with pieces from her own wardrobe, showcasing the versatility of the Wallabee and the playful nature of her designs. First released in 1968, the legendary shoe has gone through several transformations with different collaborators while maintaining its timeless energy and impeccable quality. Under Cathari’s careful eye, the Wallabee is presented in a laid-back style with white ankle socks, dressed up and down with silk and soft knits. Available in navy, chocolate brown, deep Kelly Green, dusty pink, pale green, chilli red, and lavender, Cathari rounds out the collection with a range of matching leather keyholders, inspired by the Clarks Originals fobs.
