Camper joins forces with Issey Miyake to create capsule fusing originality and functionality
The Mallorcan firm specializing in footwear is committed to a Japanese-inspired collaboration. Camper has united its legacy of craftsmanship with the avant-garde vision of Issey Miyake for the launch of "Peu Form", an original capsule designed by the creative director of the iconic Japanese house, Satoshi Kondo. Inspired by Camper's iconic Peu family and the "a piece of cloth" principle that characterizes Issey Miyake's philosophy, the collection has been conceived as a single piece of material that envelops the foot, fusing formal innovation and functionality in a contemporary manner. The capsule includes two models, a shoe that converts into a mule and an ankle boot designed as a second skin. With a playful and organic silhouette, both pieces stand out for their structural flexibility and their ability to be folded for easy storage. The pieces have been made with leather from Italian tanneries, a polyurethane insole, and a sole made from 20% recycled TPU, reaffirming their commitment to comfort and sustainability. The collection presents a chromatic palette featuring shades of black, white, Klein blue, and the characteristic Camper red. Peu Form will be available from July 15 in selected Camper and Issey Miyake stores worldwide, as well as selected retailers and the Camper and Issey Miyake e-commerce platforms. This is not the first time Camper has joined forces with other brands in the industry to create exclusive capsules. Just a few months ago, the Mallorcan firm collaborated with Bobo Choses to create a children's collection based on the Twins concept, featuring mismatched pairs of shoes characterized by their colorful style. Founded in 1975 in Mallorca by the Fluxà family, Camper has established itself as an international footwear reference thanks to its creative and innovative approach. With a presence in more than 2,500 multi-brand points of sale and nearly 350 of its own stores in approximately 50 markets around the world, the Balearic brand recorded a 2% increase in sales in its 2023 financial year, achieving a record turnover of 225 million euros during the period.

Issey Miyake's fashion sculptures blur the line between clothing and art
PARIS — The Paris Fashion Week collection felt soft and elemental, as if blown by the wind, and deceptively simple. That's the art of Issey Miyake — cutting-edge techniques creating clothes that drift like clouds. Sound and look simple? The execution was anything but. For fall, Satoshi Kondo on Friday embraced ambiguity, blurring the line between sculpture and wearability, structure and fluidity. Designed around the idea of a single piece of cloth, the collection continued Miyake's legacy of transformation — garments that shift, adapt and invite the wearer to complete them. Inspired by Erwin Wurm's performative sculptures, the show at Carrousel du Louvre saw models folding, bending, and reshaping their clothes, turning dressing into an act of creation.
