Description.1 Blue Birkenstock shoe box containing .2 black and white plaited sandals
Birkenstock 1774 x CSM collaboration, 2021
Four MA Fashion students (Saskia Lenaerts, Alecsander Rothschild, Alex Wolfe, Dingyun Zhang) had their designs turned into a commercial collection of sandals for German footwear brand, Birkenstock. The student project included BA Fashion History and Theory students, who helped define Birkenstock’s contribution to fashion history and researched the brand’s archive in 2018. This included a reissue of an archive style, the Tallahassee from the 1990s. The two-tone design went on to be incorporated into the brand’s mainline sandal offer.
