Ipanema with STARCK Spring/Summer 2016 Collection

Here's a thought we don't often see in fashion footwear, minimalism. We're not talking about barefoot running shoes, those are after all, running shoes, we mean the chic, fashionable shoes you'd wear everyday. Brazilian shoe brand Ipanema has partnered with world-renowned creator Philippe Starck to present a limited edition Ipanema with STARCK Spring/Summer 2016 Collection that celebrates just that. The capsule collection combines Stark's minimal and organic design and Ipanema's fun and chic Brazilian sandals for a re-envisioned collection that's modern, and elegant. These are not your typical flip flops, this collection brings a new sophisticated dimension to the flip flop category.

The Ipanema with STARCK Collection boasts four distinct flat sandal designs: Thing M Fem Sandals, Thing N Fem Sandals, Thing U Fem Sandals, and Thing G Fem Sandals, all of which are available 12 colors grouped by the following color palettes: Chic, Glamorous, Arty, and Nature. The collection’s palette is a blend of neutral and citrus tones including white, black, smoke, acid yellow, orange, rose, transparent yellow, and transparent orange, expanding the collection to 48 very chic options designed to enhance the lifestyles of modern women everywhere.


The collection offers you the freedom of choice, as each woman can make her own selection from the variety of strap designs and colors that best represents her own unique style statement. Emphasizing the brand's sustainability, Ipanema with Starck was developed with 30% recycled materials and is 100% recyclable. To execute Starck’s stunning designs, Ipanema took a more artisanal approach to its production process by employing a special proprietary plastique injection technique that ensures comfort for the wearer and the highest of quality. The shoes' handcrafted assembly, from the straps to the sole, allows a perfect fit for the wearer. 

The collection is now available in stores and online globally at Opening Ceremony, Alchemist, 10 Corso Como and many more, with prices ranging from $30.00 - $40.00.
