John Lobb Shoes: A Reflection of London Life
From Northampton, where John Lobb shoes are born, to various locations across London, John Lobb appears.──The first presentation at London Collections: Men captured the essence of London, showcasing everything from highly anticipated new models to timeless classics, displayed across eight distinct zones.
The first booth showcased evolving traditional models.
"WILLIAM II BOOT" @ Oliver Street, Northampton
Debuting in 2009,"WILLIAM II BOOT"is a highly popular evolution of the "William", a double-monk strap shoe that has transcended time from 1945 to the present day.
For this presentation, a brick building was recreated using replicas of the factory bricks from Oliver Street in Northampton. "Evolving traditional models", retaining their classic and iconic charm, were exhibited as a symbol of John Lobb.
New arrivals for the 2014-15 Autumn/Winter collection
"JODHPUR II" @ Smithfield’s Market, east London
The "JODHPUR II", a single-strap ankle boot and a revival of the masterpiece "Jodhpur", features a calf leather with a mottled finish for an enhanced vintage feel. The elegantly designed new loop strap adds a touch of refinement to the casual design.
The presentation depicted a gentleman's leisurely Sunday morning, enjoying breakfast and reading the newspaper in a traditional British cafe at Smithfield Market, an historic East London institution.
