There’s nothing like a momentary ray of sunshine hitting us through all those heavy, grey clouds to confirm that spring is most definitely here and therefore, we have an excuse to go wild and prepare our summer wardrobe. Ten favourite, Mr Roland Mouret, has collaborated with LA-based Maryam and Marjan Malakpour’s footwear brand NewbarK, to create the ultimate summer shoes. Taking the three classic NewbarK styles, Mouret has infused his Spring/ Summer 2018 looks, reimagining the shows the Mouret way. The Melanie loafer has been wrapped in his navy and white Mexican Rose Georgette print, the Rosa wrap sandal coated in a sheeny-shiny glossy black nappa leather, and the Roma III slip-on sandal has been hand crafted with an ivory eel leather. We’ll take all three, obvs. We are his most dedicated fans.
“I feel it’s very relevant for women today and what they need in their life,” Roland said. “More and more, women are expressing who they are and what they want, by the way they live and carry themselves. Together we have created a product which is versatile for women on the go – the perfect accessory to my clothes.” Yes, simple, classic, chic. The campaign was shot in Los Angeles on Maryam Malakpour herself, by Marie Noorberger, making us feel so hot and bothered, in the best way. They look to be quite practical. We can feel the LA heat, fanning ourselves with a palm tree leaf, a Roland x Newbark sandal slipping so delicately off the foot, pool-side. It’s the psychological effect that stems from the need for new Mouret. Scientifically proven to take over.
The collection is available now from the London and New York flagship stores, and on www.rolandmouret.com.
