Katy Perry Relaunches Namesake Footwear Brand for Spring/Summer 2022
Singer Katy Perry is bringing back her shoe line with a new spring collection.
Katy Perry has officially returned to the world of footwear. The singer recently relaunched her brand Katy Perry Collection after an extended hiatus with a new line of shoes to add some excitement to your lineup of spring accessories.
"I had the opportunity to either let my brand kind of slowly fade away into nothingness, or take on the challenge and bet on myself, as I do most of the time, and just up my game and really mean what I say when I say I want to be that boss ass bitch" Perry said to WWD.
The Spring/Summer 2022 collection consists of 19 pairs of shoes divided into two themes: floral and beach. The collection includes a variety of styles including platforms, kitten heels, loafers, sandals, sneakers, and wedges. The line also offers a number of patterns such as plaid and floral, as well as varying materials like vegan leather, PVC, and canvas.
"I’m excited because [spring] is my favorite season when everything starts to come back to life and we thaw out,” Perry explains. “I am a product of the sun and I am a California girl. I want to get that pedicure and I want to let my feet breathe and look cute in gingham and pastels. Anything Easter-themed is my vibe.
As for Perry's favorite designs, she loves the kitten heel sandal with a unique heel made of a gold shell ornament, as well as the three-strap, gingham-patterned sandal. Other styles include fisherman-style sandals made of PVC that come in pink, chartreuse, and black, a floral beaded anklet sandal, and platform sandals available in seven colors.
The collection also features scented shoes whose scent represents the decorative elements on the shoe. Perry explained that, although her style has evolved over the last decade, her collection is designed to reflect her playful personality.
“My own style has evolved since 2008 in that, for me, I still want to have fun and humor is a big part of my personality, especially when I am in the public eye,” said the singer. “I like being able to be sophisticated and elevated, while still being playful. That’s really my vibe.”
Perry designed this collection with the intention of presenting affordable footwear, something that the "Daisies" singer was quite focused on throughout the collection's design and production process. While speaking to WWD, Perry added that, in the future, she wants to expand the brand into children's pieces and bags, as well as introduce more sustainable elements like environmentally conscious materials.
The Katy Perry Collection's Spring/Summer 2022 collection is available now on the brand's new website or online at Nordstrom, Macy's, and Belk.
