Aknvas Joins Forces with Stuart Weitzman for Exclusive Limited-Edition Release
Luxury footwear brand Stuart Weitzman partners with emerging New York City label Aknvas to create the limited-edition Stuart Weitzman x Aknvas Capsule Collection for the Fall 2023 season. Designed in collaboration with Aknvas founder Christian Juul Nielsen, the capsule is inspired by the idea of a modern fashion fantasy: It features directional takes on classic footwear silhouettes alongside bold reimagined iterations of SW’s signature styles.
“At Stuart Weitzman we are committed to supporting the next generation of emerging and disruptive designers,” says CEO & Brand President Giorgio Sarné. “It is inspiring to see our iconic silhouettes reimagined with the same artful and elegant designs to inspire confident women around the world.”
“While I’m primarily a womenswear and menswear designer, it has always been a dream of mine to design shoes, too, and I am so honored to be able to work with a premier American luxury shoe brand like Stuart Weitzman on my first-ever shoe designs,” says Nielsen of the collaboration. “As a European designer with a New York City-based brand, I am so excited to bring my Danish and Parisian background and sensibility to the American customer.”
Model Brooks Nader wears the limited-edition capsule collection paired with looks designed by Nielsen for Aknvas. With this, the campaign effortlessly blends the artisanal craftsmanship and timeless sophistication of Stuart Weitzman with the thoughtful innovation and dynamisms of Aknvas.
