Vanessa Wu Story
Her drive: instilling self-confidence. The confidence a woman exudes when she feels good in her shoes, and therefore in her mind. Vanessa likes to see her shoes transform women into everyday heroines. She gives them the power to navigate life, the city and any obstacles in their way - both confidently and comfortably.
The Vanessa Wu Fall Winter 2019 2020 collection is notable for its strong, colorful pieces that are brimming with detail. This year, rhinestones, glitter, studs, animal and metallic prints feature heavily on Vanessa’s shoes. Classic shapes are given a rock twist, fulfilling her desire to bend the fashion rules without flouting them completely. Vanessa has composed a concerto of different styles that sit loosely within the lines of the original score, showing how you can play with the classics and rework them to produce stunningly modern results.
In the Mining Museum of Saint-Etienne, the photo shooting location of the FW2019 / 20 collection embodies this blend of traditional and contemporary. In a place full of memories, battered by time and steeped in history, one sinks into the Couriot Well by the light of a miner's lamp. From the compressor room to the hanged room, we feel a strange modernity in this maze of rooms that reconciles the industrial past of France and the visitor in search of meaning .
And this is what Vanessa Wu hoped to get across through her collection: this idea of unity and reconciliation. Of taking a reworked classic, a measure of elegance, and deliberately making it flirt with its worst enemy - fashion at its most ephemeral, superficial and carefree. And for the space of a season, a collection at least, it feels like the two come together perfectly to offer our feet their perfect partner.
