What is fashion for if not to spark joy? London-based photographer and artist Coco Capitán gets this and has channelled that uplifting message into her collaboration with Singapore-based footwear and accessory brand Charles & Keith. “I wanted to create a message of optimism,” Capiàn says in a press release. “This is why I chose to talk about a wildflower growing in concrete. It seems incredible to me that nature still manages to grow in big cities, despite how difficult we make it for them. For me, this is an observation that carries hope within it.” We dare you not to smile while looking at these whimsical loafers.
