+LIFE EXPLORER CAMEL ACTIVE FOOTWEAR AT GALLERY SHOES Collection preview Autumn/Winter 2019 camel active invites all customers to discover the Autumn/Winter 2019 collection from camel active footwear at Gallery Shoes in Düsseldorf from 10 th to 12 th March 2019. The new Autumn/Winter collection 2019 +Life Explorer is all about change and reinterpreting the brand heritage of camel active. While “Explorer” describes the pure brand DNA, “+Life” represents both innovation and evolution, creating a remake of the brand DNA. Influences from sports and streetwear meet outdoor hiking trends. For men, camel active footwear is picking up on the original model from the 1980s: the “Havanna” lace-up boot. Shoe types from the workwear, trekking and outdoor segments are also part of the brand DNA. Rugged, high- quality leather and technical materials play a vital role. Other favourites include sporty knitted uppers on running soles and hiking/ sneaker hybrids. They are worn with raw outdoor tweeds, timber checked shirts and marled jumpers for a retro explorer look. Urban streetwear interpretations include consistently-applied mountaineer themes on sneaker soles. The trend is implemented as rugged hiking/sneaker hybrids with ankle-high shafts. The highlight sneaker is the new model “Terra”, with its running sole. By presenting it in leather combined with a crepe sole, camel active footwear is making a clear statement in favour of natural materials in a technical design. Gore-Tex membranes provide a protective function. The key colours in the spectrum are mainly earthy and grey shades, supplemented by olive, khaki and ox blood. For women, outfits are complemented by worker and hiking-inspired boots – a striking expression of the brand. Ankle boots are very important this winter. Also new is a low-cut cowboy boot with a single-colour shaft and subtle embroidery in bottle green. Chelsea boots and a high- shaft boot model are also big in the segment. They are designed as urban cup soles or functional hiking types with profiled soles. The shafts are clear and understated. Hooks and eyes provide striking details, as does fake fur. Here, too, the colour spectrum is largely based around earthy tones. Black is the most important colour, with accents coming from fashionable dark red, dark blue and dark green.
