Now in his second season, David Tournaire Beauciel has turned his attention to men’s. The fall collection is classic Clergerie with a twist: uppers done in the label’s signature raffia topping sneaker soles. “Men are ready,” said Beauciel who also designs the footwear at Balenciaga. “There is something more crazy with men’s shoes at the moment.” Elsewhere, derbies and vegetable-tanned hiker boots sat on articulated platform outsoles in super light EVA.

Diego Vanassibara gave his bondage signature a lighter touch for fall. The designer drew inspiration from the world of jewelry; lug-sole brogues came overlaid with harnesses or bracelet buckles done in gunmetal grey. ÒJust enough aggression without being over the top,Ó he reasoned. Elsewhere, lace-ups in pleated satin came overlaid with hand-shredded pieces of the same fabric offering a more contemporary touch.

Fall 2018 was about “the idea of lightness and walking and travel and movement,” said Paula Gerbese, who noted John Lobb’s archives boast such sporty styles as Forties ski boots to tennis shoes from the Twenties. She took the popular Levah sneaker silhouette, evolving it into EVA-soled styles with double buckles, chukka boots and Chelsea boots – all in autumnal suede. There were also lovely derby boots fastened with ski hooks and done with double welt stitch sole plus a bespoke group of completely seamless styles molded on a specially created last.

For fall, Christian Louboutin reprised a craft technique derived from a 1999 archive mule called Trash. Hand-torn pieces of the label’s brown paper bags are collaged beneath a PVC overlay and employed for studded baseball boots, heeled Chelsea styles and a creeper. Elsewhere there was an interiors-inspired story with patchwork applications and optic prints. Velvet slippers spelled out the word love in mismatched beading while a graffiti print came rendered in sequins on sneakers.

Paul Andrew introduced a jazzy lipstick red for fall. ÒItÕs a brave color,Ó he admitted, Òbut once you trim in black and have the black soles it’s not so complicated.Ó Striated-sole creepers and chukkas plus a new streamlined jodhpur boot came in an opulent hand painted python while combat boots had interchangeable hiker laces and ultra light air injected soles. There was also a butter soft biker style with removable ankle straps that morphed into a simple slouch boot.

Both Paris has had itself a primary colored kick for fall. Its signature vulcanized rubber-dipped sneakers and boots come with splashes of yellow, red and blue plus chunky, tire-inspired soles. Elsewhere, there’s a new running shoe model, new spazzolato leathers, and logo tags bearing the chemical formula of the latex fabrication. The design team features an anonymous roster of collaborators, many of whom hail from luxury design houses in the City of Light.

Me.Land Fall 2018

Designer Frédéric Robert has shoe credentials in spades: The Dior and Hermès alumnus helped create Lanvin’s first sneaker alongside then-creative director Alber Elbaz. Having quit his job at Dior last September, Robert has launched his Me.Land men’s brand for fall 2018. “I want to accompany men all day long,” he said of the contrast bib derbies and sneakers, done in an array of materials, colors and treatments, including a jazzy metallic goatskin. “The more it ages, the better it will look,” he noted of the foiled leather. He also believes in lightness and comfort – hence the natural rubber soles. “You hardly feel you’re wearing them,” he said.
