How would Hubert de Givenchy react to the knowledge of his maison’s present-day collaboration with America-hailing footwear brand Bogs? While that is answerable by only Monsieur Givenchy himself, one thing’s for certain: Givenchy’s present-day carte blanche is materialising in a direction that reads younger, more modern, and fresh.
To quote that one song, These (Givenchy x Bogs) Boots Are Made for Walkin’. Be it for an all-terrain expedition, or for a strut on a catwalk — as seen on fan favourites like Off Jumpol, Phu Tatchai and Nani Hirunkit — Givenchy’s latest partnership with the outdoor footwear makers shows that there is no compromise between functionality and fashion.
Riffing off on the Oregon-based label’s understanding of hyper-utility, Givenchy now presents 100 percent waterproof, vulcanised boots that are, trust us, sexier than they sound. Taking on forms in cropped Chelsea boots and lace-up versions, the maison’s emblematic 4G branding, savoir-faire detailing and subtle surface treatments see to it that one can find warmth and comfort both in and out of a pair of cold climate-approved stompers.
