Madrid – The Mallorca-based footwear brand Camper is expanding its global presence with an exciting new announcement. They’ve partnered with the renowned Japanese fashion house Issey Miyake to launch a unique collaborative capsule collection. This initiative showcases Camper’s innovative approach to brand evolution, distinguishing its footwear lines from the emerging lifestyle segment of Camperlab.
After a successful rebranding at Paris Fashion Week Men’s, where Camperlab debuted as a dedicated fashion and lifestyle label, the brand is back in the spotlight. This latest creative endeavor, overseen by Finnish designer Achilles Ion Gabriel, marks a significant step for Camper. By opening up its creative archives to Issey Miyake, current creative director Satoshi Kondo has crafted a collection that harmonizes the essence of both brands on both formal and abstract levels.
Launch Date: 15 July
In celebration of Camper’s engaging journey, coinciding with their 50th anniversary in 2025, this collection introduces two redesigned models from the “Peu” footwear line. These new styles, branded as “Peu Form,” will make their debut on Tuesday, 15 July. They will be available through Camper and Issey Miyake retail locations globally, along with select distributors and on Camper’s online store.
This collection will feature four distinct color options, including classic black and white, along with the lively Klein blue and signature clay red. Central to the line is the “Camper x Issey Miyake” mule, designed to be worn with or without the heel covered. Additionally, an ankle boot will also be offered in the same four hues. The footwear reflects a commitment to quality through its use of soft, high-grade Italian leather, along with eco-friendly touches such as a polyurethane insole and soles made from 20% recycled thermoplastic polyurethane for enhanced comfort.
Reflecting Issey Miyake’s signature “a piece of cloth” philosophy, these designs reference Camper’s legendary “Peu” line while emphasizing how a single piece of material can elegantly envelop the foot. The collaboration symbolizes creativity and craftsmanship, merging these values into everyday style with a sense of responsibility and innovation, setting a promising tone for Camper’s future collections.
