'Shoes' Spring 2023 Ad Campaign

Review of Chylak ‘Shoes’ Spring 2023 Ad Campaign by Creative Director Zofia Chylak with Photographer Gosia Turczyńska with models Jelixza Reyes & Rikke Nora

Chylak celebrates the launch of its first shoe collection with a campaign that feels just as cool, elegantly minimal, and classic as the shoes themselves. The campaign was shot by photographer Gosia Turczyńska.

Rising to renown and popularity in an impressively quick span thanks to offering excellent craft at relatively accessible prices, the handbag brand is now adding shoes to its lineup. The concise collection focuses on classic loafer and ballet flat styles, but adds playfully feminine touches to a few of the shoes through details like ribbons or bows.

I wanted to create a collection of elegant everyday classics, since they are often surprisingly hard to find. My main goal was to design shoes that will stay in your wardrobe for years, season after season.”

– Zofia Chylak

The campaign deploys monochrome styling and focused set decoration to convey this ethos of approachable, everyday elegance. Simple surfaces like concrete, mirrored and neutral walls, and steel set off the glossy black and sharp silhouettes of the shoes, while the set design makes use of a few icons of mid-century modern furniture to emphasize the arrival of a new timeless classic.
