Netsuke Tiger and fashion label Reality Studio have joined forces to innovate their creative minds in an exclusive collaboration. The result is a new design for a girl’s shoe, the Fabre Light RS model.
From the cross between a sneaker and a shoe, this boot is born with a casual and androgynous design. However, the particularity of this model is found in the details, such as that it is decorated with small fringes, the side bands have been engraved into the leather of the boot, and it also has a small golden rivet with the name Reality Studio.
For its creation, the designers have inspired by two elements that have to do with nature, animals, and their spirits: on the one hand, the tradition and culture of the first North American Indians and, on the other, Princess Monopole, a character from the Japanese manga fantasy created in 1997 by the artist Hayao Miyazaki.
Using leather as material, the range of colors chosen for the realization of the Fabre Light RS girl’s boot varies between nude and gray combined with red. Nude and light gray represents naturalness and red represents life, the heart, love, blood, and energy, all very important concepts in many cultures.
