As we step into August, major brands have already begun to switch seasons. Charles & Keith’s 2022 autumn collection revisits the styles of the late 90s and early 2000s, blending classic, avant-garde, and pop culture elements to create a series of bright patent leather handbags and shoes, allowing you to embrace the new atmosphere of autumn and winter with a fearless self-image, catering to the strong return of the Y2K trend.
Charles & Keith’s autumn collection this year is created with a fashion aesthetic of technological utopia. The Lula patent leather series includes high heels, loafers, boots, etc. Among them, the Mary Jane style features a curved design with a thick sole, no longer childish, retaining the appearance of a collegiate style while showing a smooth and mature contour. The classic loafers are redesigned with thick soles and high-gloss finishes, following the same design concept as the boots in the series, both with high thick profiles and chunky heels, exuding a modern retro vibe.
The other Frida series is designed to be both flattering and easy to walk in, featuring a small cat motif as the design highlight, combined with mustard yellow wool material that is both fashionable and warm and comfortable. Another style, the Roony Mary Jane shoes, combines sweetness and a sporty vibe, with a thick and oversized sole, paired with eye-catching neon green color, giving off a nostalgic feel.
As for handbags, the patent leather Lula handbag style reproduces the futuristic style of the movie “The Matrix”, but gives it a softer, bubble-like appearance, bold and eye-catching. The bag features unique cubic and oval contours, paired with heavy-duty clasps, showcasing a new high-fashion style with high contrast.
As for the classic Gabine series, new styles have been introduced, featuring a thick tweed fabric for a fresh look, or opt for the vintage-inspired mini bucket bag. The new Ridley chain handbag adopts a square shape, with mustard yellow and deep green as the main colors, creating a striking autumn collection.
