Nadia Lee Cohen’s Paris Texas Collab
Paris chic meets western flair in the new Paris Texas x Nadia Lee Cohen collection. Alongside the Milanese shoe brand’s creative director Annamaria Brivio, the British filmmaker/photographer – recognised for her work producing campaigns for global fashion houses and music videos for Beyoncé, Tyler the Creator and Lana Del Ray, to name a few – has created a bold footwear capsule. Cohen even models her designs in the high-voltage campaign, which she, of course, shot herself.
Featuring a cowboy boot, crafted in the finest quality Italian leather with exclusive heel designs, as well as a sleek mule that is the epitome of Parisian chic, both super sexy kicks encapsulate the essence of Paris Texas’ dualism of audaciousness and seductiveness coming in white, red, brown, and black.
“Collaborating with Nadia on our capsule collection was an inspiring journey, blending her artistic vision with the brand’s Paris/Texas duality exemplified by the mule and boot. Nadia embodies the Paris Texas woman and her involvement from reinterpreting styles to shaping the collection encapsulates the essence of our brand,” the brand relayed in a release.
A longtime friend of the label, Cohen’s partnership with Paris Texas began in 2021 when she shot Through Her Lens, an editorial series commissioned by the brand featuring women journeying around the world. Cohen marked the debut of the new capsule collection on April 22 with an intimate dinner for a small circle of her and Paris Texas friends of the house, including stylists and celebrities at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, a location that fully reflects the codes of the brand and the photographer’s artistic vision.
