Taking the concept to SS2020, the campaign is a family portrait, featuring shoe designer Manolo Blahnik with his niece and company CEO, Kristina Blahnik. Shot in Manolo Blahnik’s first store on Old Church Street, London, Mr.Blahnik paired Black Bostons with a red suit from trusted tailor Anderson Shepherd, with Kristina Blahnik joining him in her BIRKENSTOCK Gizehs, purchased in 2004, worn elegantly with a classic white shirt dress.

“I have always admired BIRKENSTOCK; the brand has genuine authenticity and continually remain true to their values, which I adore. It is an enormous privilege to be included in this project with my niece and to be part of an ongoing campaign.” —Manolo Blahnik

The campaign also features artist Faye Toogood, Founder and CEO of Toogood. Faye Toogood is captured in her London studio, wearing a handmade silk dress from the Toogood collection with her white Tokio Super Grip BIRKENSTOCKs. Toogood shares a preoccupation with handmade, sustainable products, making Faye Toogood a committed BIRKENSTOCK wearer.

“For me BIRKENSTOCK represents comfort and timeless, recognisable, sculptural form - all qualities I admire and strive for in my work. I am honoured to be invited to participate in this beautifully curated and genuine campaign.” —Faye Toogood

“We truly respect the genuine and rare know-how a real shoe maker like Manolo Blahnik brings to us. Someone who, like us knows the craft and continues to redefine shoemaking. Taking it to a whole new level. The fact that the Blahniks are a family business brings them even closer to us. The same thing which can be said about the talented Faye Toogood.”

Adds Birkenstock CEO, Oliver Reichert. The portraits are set to appear in March issues in global collectible print and select fashion titles.
