Christian Kimber has launched his second collection in luxury footwear, inspired by Melbourne’s Federation Square. “It’s not just the aesthetics that inspired me,” says Kimber. “It’s the beauty of the light play, the innovation of the structure and the historical narrative behind it. It’s all of those things and the relevance of them to the experience I’m trying to create.”

The collection includes the Cumulus, Byron, Siglo, and Lorne designs in shades of blue, tan, and grey, mirroring the glass and sandstone aesthetic of Federation Square. The Cumulus hightop in all-white grain calf leather is also a newbie. The new range is made from supersoft and effortlessly wearable nubuck, that looks velvet in the light.

Tre Samuels, who models the lookbook, has been making waves within the fashion industry as of late, having been named MVP at Paris Fashion Week this year after walking for Dior Homme, Burberry, Valentino, and Yeezy Season 3. This is the second collaboration between Samuels and Kimber.
