Aldo Rise: SS12 Designer Collaborations

Share

Aldo Rise SS12 Designer Collaborations Mark Fast, Preen, JW Anderson and Libertine collections will be releasing on Thursday, March 8th on aldoshoes.com worldwide!

Preen: London-based duo Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi won rave reviews for their SS12 runway collection with footwear playing an essential role. ”We are very excited about this collaboration,” said the pair. “The shoes have a very Preen look. Proportion, color and texture are key.” The Preen x ALDO RISE collection will feature 4 styles in a range of colorways. From heels with pops of neon to mules with a pixilated print with heel shapes that carry the same design sophistication akin to architecture.

JW Anderson: JW Anderson was inspired by structured heels and feather details for his SS12 collection with ALDO RISE. “Like Rauschenberg, it’s a patchwork of textures,” Anderson said to describe the feminine styles that mix stripes with feathers and demure ankle straps with lace-up elements.

Libertine: With experience collaborating with the likes of art star, Damien Hirst, Libertine designer Johnson Hartig brought just the right mix of creativity and SoCal ease to the design table. “I’ve been looking at a lot of Cy Twombley, swimming in the ocean, and making driftwood sculptures and voila; graphic stripey shoes!” True to his “stripey” inspiration, the two footwear and two bag styles in the Libertine x ALDO RISE collection displays totally different takes on the use of horizontal and vertical stripes.

Mark Fast: The Mark Fast x ALDO RISE collection showcases the intricately handcrafted elements of Fast’s ready-to-wear line. “I took inspiration from a bit of tribal and metallic glam,” says Fast. The heeled style features his iconic cut-out details and comes in 4 bold colors.

Charlotte Olympia Spring 2012 Collection

Designer Charlotte Dellal is certainly a celebrity favorite whose shoes have been worn by some of the biggest names in the business, but none of her other collections have screamed celebrity lifestyle as much as this one does.

The Charlotte Olympia Spring 2012 collection was inspired by Beverly Hills and Miami and definitely does not disappoint. In fact, I’m pretty sure my jaw literally dropped when I saw the first two pairs.

The structural heels and intricate designs are so gorgeous and bring Charlotte Olympia into the big-timers’ league with Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo and Nicholas Kirkwood.

“You know, I’m not the type of girl to wear high heels to the beach,” says Charlotte Dellal,  teetering on the sand at her presentation in palm-frond heels. “But I think that this might have been how my grandmother did poolside glamour.”
