London Designer Anita Quansah Turns Head With Hand-Embellished Babouche Slippers

Anita Quansah Odine Slippers Summer 2017

July 25, 2017. Leave a Comment

There is no denying the appeal of a slip-on sandal as a summer shoe favorite, especially when said slip on packs a punch of color and glamour. Case in point, designer Anita Quansah’s delightful babouche slippers that are simply artful show stoppers.

Handmade in Morocco and hand-embellished in London, Anita Quansah’s babouche slippers are an amalgam of beads, sequins, raffia, embroidery and even pom poms, and are an extension of Quansah’s background creating elaborate jewelry textiles for the likes of Christian Lacroix, Diane Von Furstenberg, Donna Karan as well as her own namesake line.

Rooted in her Nigerian heritage, Quansah sites her family’s background in dress making and costume design as inspiration for her creations. While there is a more subtle leather and raffia version the ‘Akila’, the adorned slippers have become our new favorites.

You can purchase the below slippers at anitaquansahlondon.com/shop.html

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
