Converse with Love, Riccardo Tisci
Converse has collaborated with many we know, namely Marimekko that I mentioned earlier this season. However this one is a little more interesting, I think, because it involves a true fashion inspiration by Riccardo Tisci, the artistic director of the French couture house Givenchy. He used the iconic leopard print that appeared first in the Spring Summer 2011 mens collection and it’s also quite popular in this women’s spring summer collection. Following this trend that he created for the neo gothic look of the brand, he used leopard as a follow up and as an element to finish the looks for this summer. Black gloss leopard print is added to all black canvas –also one of the classics of Converse- and finished with the signature motifs such as studs and crosses that Riccardo Tisci likes using. These original 1960’s Chuck Taylor high tops are only for sale in the Japanese market as a collectors’ item.
