KOOLABURRA X LAUREN MOSHI COLLABORATION LAUNCHES FOR HOLIDAY 2013 Luxury Footwear Brand Koolaburra Debuts Limited Edition Collaboration with Lauren Moshi Featuring Four-Piece Collection February 12, 2013 (Los Angeles, CA) - Debuting at the 2013 Project Las Vegas tradeshow, global footwear company Koolaburra will unveil a special collaboration with Los Angeles based designer Lauren Moshi, the standout clothing company known for their creative print screen artistry and massive celebrity following. The launch of this unique partnership marks an exciting moment for the brands, which share a similar celebrity following and are distinguished as trendsetters in their respective fields. The collection will feature four favorite Koolaburra styles creatively adorned with popular Lauren Moshi designs. This special edition collection ($345 to $445 MSRP) will be available for Holiday 2013 and on sale at both brands’ websites and several top global retailers. Over the past decade, Koolaburra has been at the forefront of fashion footwear, pushing past the boundaries of the company’s sheepskin heritage with innovative shapes, creative construction techniques, and an eye for on-trend styling. In the same thread, Lauren Moshi was built upon a passion for fine art, design and an appreciation for the finer things in life. “This collaboration with Koolaburra was interesting to us for many reasons,” explains Lauren Moshi, co-founder and designer of her namesake brand. “By taking some of our most coveted designs and incorporating them onto Koolaburra’s footwear, we opened up a whole new avenue of wearability for our customer.” The Koolaburra x Lauren Moshi collection features four signature Koolaburra boot styles fused with unique appliques of famed Lauren Moshi drawings. “Moshi Lips” features a black classic Grade-A Australian sheepskin short boot construction with a suede cuff folded over the length of the shaft. Moshi’s infamous “Lips” design is embroidered directly onto the cuff in pewter stitching, and completed with all-over silver pyramid stud detailing. The “Moshi Savannity” showcases both brands’ most popular styles. Koolaburra’s beloved Savannity shape sees a partial wrap of double hanging studded fringe, leaving the front portion open to display the Moshi “Skull” design on an embroidered leather patch. The updated Savannity will also feature Koolaburra’s new improved molded rubber sole and signature 2-inch platform heel. The “Moshi Veleta” is crafted from black cashmere leather that offers a soft garment feel and slightly tumbled grainy look. The 5-inch heeled boot is leather lined and features a large Moshi Skull design wrapped across the back, screen-printed directly onto both sides of the hanging leather fringe. Rounding out the collection is the “Moshi Thunderbird,” featuring a new 10-inch shaft height on a classic construction with Grade-A Australian sheepskin in chestnut. A Moshi “Thunderbird” emblem is embroidered onto a suede cutout that is restitched to the front of the shaft. Complementing the artistic design is a suede cuff with whip-stitched leather tassel fringe.
