FILLIN HOMME

Refined Classic

In this project, I was responsible for both shoe design and art direction, designing a derby and a loafer as part of a menswear line that builds on FILLIN’s aesthetic while introducing a more refined and composed presence. The aim was to preserve the brand’s identity while establishing a quieter and more grounded character unique to HOMME.

The upper was shaped to extend gently toward the toe, allowing highlights to appear beautifully when struck by light. This creates a subtle sense of openness within a clean silhouette, resulting in a design that feels natural in both formal and casual settings.

For the art direction, I expressed the depth within black through the texture of microfiber leather, layered with transparent materials such as water and glass. By carefully designing the styling and treatment of light as well, I sought to communicate not only the appeal of each product itself, but also the quiet tension and atmosphere of the line as a whole.
