Kurt Geiger has collaborated with iconic British interior designer Matthew Williamson to launch a limited-edition collection destined for a beautiful summer.
The exclusive capsule collection, which launched on Thursday, includes 80 pieces with a curation of bags for all occasions, accessories, shoes, swimwear and jewelry. Prices for footwear and accessories start from $49-$275 and sizes for swimwear range from XS – XXL.
Footwear featured in the collaborative capsule includes their “Kensington” flat sandal, which comes in three colorways and includes a vibrant floral motif complemented with an abstract ikat design to create a beautiful bohemian print across the quilted uppers.
The “Kensington” espadrille is also one of many shoes featured in the collection. The style features rainbow and fuchsia floral motifs, accompanied by Kurt Geiger’s signature gold eagle head with rainbow crystals set atop the crisscrossing straps.

Their “Kensington” T-bar sandals feature a similarly abstract bohemian print across their uppers stacked atop bronzy metallic soles and short square heels.
In addition to the summer collection drop, there will be exclusive pop-up boutiques worldwide within selected department stores across North America, Europe and the United Arab Emirates for a limited time only. Showcasing cities include New York, Mexico City, Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid, Lisbon, Dubai, and Mykonos.
Matthew Williamson is known for his use of maximalist prints, bold colors and carefully constructed designs. The British designer’s eponymous fashion house was founded in February 1997 and in 2007, Williamson was appointed the creative director of Emilio Pucci. Today, Williamson mainly focuses on interior and furniture design, but he still lends his creative stylings to the fashion world from time to time, seen in his collaborations with Kurt Geiger.
The limited-edition Kurt Geiger and Matthew Williamson collaboration is available for purchase now on kurtgeiger.com.
