Givenchy Presents The Shark Lock Boot Project
Givenchy introduces the Shark Lock Boot Project, a creative initiative that reimagines the brand’s iconic boot style in a fresh, artistic perspective. This project marks a new chapter for the enduring icon, capturing its essence through both documentary and portrait-style images.
Building on Givenchy's legacy of creativity and collaboration, the Shark Lock Boot Project transcends traditional product-focused photography, celebrating universality in art and fashion. To bring this vision to life, Givenchy enlisted London-based creative director Jamie Reid, who curated a team of four international tastemakers. Each artist was given complete freedom to reinterpret the Shark Lock Boot through their unique creative lens.
For this debut edition, the selected artists were Alessandro Furchino Capria, Takashi Homma, Sharna Osborne, and Jet Swan. Their diverse and compelling works reveal unexpected facets of the Shark Lock, highlighting the exquisite leather craftsmanship behind one of fashion’s most distinctive boot styles.
The collection includes striking variations such as a high wedge boot in ivory leather with two-tone silver and gold buckles, a knee-high slouchy boot in black nappa leather or cheetah-effect pony with gold Givenchy padlocks, a biker ankle boot in washed denim, and a classic knee-high boot in python, tinted in this season’s deep red.
Accompanying the boots are new iterations of Givenchy’s signature handbags, crafted in luxurious materials and seasonal colors. The standout Fall-Winter 2024-2025 pieces include the Shark Lock bucket bag in slouchy black nappa leather with gold hardware or hazel suede with shearling trim and silver hardware. The iconic Mini Antigona Lock bag appears in ivory box leather with gold hardware, black box leather with silver or gold hardware, and an exclusive washed blue denim version. An eye-catching python version in burgundy and the diminutive yet bold Antigona Lock Toy bag in cheetah-effect pony leather with black handles and gold hardware complete the lineup.
