Despite the fact that there are almost 200 years that separate their origins, British footwear brand Clarks and London Fashion Week designer
Christopher Raeburn’s first collaboration reflects their shared love of
craftsmanship, and presents a Spring/Summer 2016 range of shoes
that celebrate style and purpose that uniquely represent the ethos of both brands.
Clarks x Christopher Raeburn’s first collection for both men and women consists of
eleven styles that were previewed to the press last autumn and I’m
please to say the range will now be launched in stores in February.
The range combines Clarks' rich heritage of craft and shoe
making expertise and the inspiration for Christopher Raeburn’s Spring/Summer
‘16 collection : Sarawak, a Borneo theme, with the anthropologist Tom Harrison
at the centre of the story.
Note the functional sensibilities that fashionistas have come to expect of Christopher Raeburn's innovative designs that work well with Clarks' attention to comfort such as the Extralight cleated soles and Cushion Plus technology with dual density cushioning.
For women, the Salek Sun as shown is the hero sandal which will feature on the catwalk at London Fashion Week this coming February.

| Above, the Salek Sun. Woven detailing and bold ankle straps combine with block heels using lightweight EVA to create a sandal that is modern and functional. Note the combination of webbing and cork, and the unique clasp fastening. |
 |
| Jungle Fern features a higher block heel and comes in buttersoft nubuck, an urban take on the jungle inspiration. |
 |
| Jungle Trek takes an authentic trekking boot and gives it a contemporary spin with washed canvas panels and a cleated lightweight heel. |
 |
| Sabah Trail is the trainer of the season. Note the sleek athletic silhouette and military styling. It is available in black or sage, or with Raeburn's Borneo map print as shown above, teaming with white leather. |
