Stuart Weitzman and Gigi Hadid launch second shoe collaboration

Stuart Weitzman and Gigi Hadid are teaming up again. The brand has once again collaborated with the It girl on two exclusive footwear styles – the Eyelove and the Eyelovemore. The pointed-toe mules were the first project for Stuart Weitzman's new creative director Giovanni Morelli; he and Hadid modified an existing brand silhouette to reflect her sleek style and strong affinity for the mule.

Hadid was inspired by her personal connection to the mystical symbol the "evil eye." The Eyelove, available in ballet suede and deep indigo suede, showcases her minimalistic design aesthetic with one "evil eye" symbol on just the right foot of each silhouette. The Eyelovemore, available in frosted suede, illustrates her playfulness with its bold multi-eye pattern on both shoes. Hadid's designs easily transition from season to season — the inside of each toe-box is lined with shearling. Packaged in a signature Gigi Hadid box with a matching dust bag, the mules are available exclusively at Stuart Weitzman retail locations and global websites as well as Moda Operandi and Lane Crawford. Stuart Weitzman's Soho boutique will also transform into a Gigi Mule Pop-Up Shop for limited time starting November 15th. The retail price is 498 dollars for the Eyelove and 598 dollars for the Eyelovemore.

"I've really been into slides lately and wanted a pair that can take me into fall…no more cold toes! The evil eye is a powerful symbol meant to protect those who wear it from negative energies. It's emotionally comforting and beautiful and captivating to look at. The bright colors are fun and remind me why we designed these shoes — they represent our commitment to build three additional schools with Pencils of Promise. Look Good, Do Good," said Gigi Hadid.

A short film titled "The Season for Loving", and starring Hadid, will kick off the Gigi Mule's global retail debut on www.stuartweitzman.com.

Like Hadid's previous design collaboration with Stuart Weitzman, the Eyelove and the Eyelovemore mules have a charitable aspect. The designs are a celebration of Stuart Weitzman's partnership with Pencils of Promise and its financial commitment of 105,000 dollars to build an additional three schools this year, one each in Ghana, Guatemala and Laos.
