John Lobb’s new creative director, Paula Gerbase, unveils her influences for the upcoming footwear season
“In 1851, a farmer’s son by the name of John Lobb set foot on what was to become an exceptional journey of accomplishment. Aged 22, Lobb left his home in rural Cornwall and walked to London carried only by his handmade boots. The John Lobb AW15 collection celebrates the legacy of Lobb’s heroic walk as the label strides towards the future. The AW15 presentation aims to both recreate and deconstruct the natural journey experienced by John Lobb, focusing on motion and the experience of a singular solitary walk.”
